Looking at the board, it is model SB1040, with
CA0110-IBG LF chip.
Is that an hda type chip?

This is a CA0106 variant, not a 10k1/20k1.

Would my card be one of the supported ones you need tested?

Yes, I have loaded the module snd-ctfxi many times,
and unloaded snd-hda-intl.
Also blacklisted snd-hda-intel, and put snd-ctxfi into modprobe.conf.

I get more warnings on compiling the driver than you do - see below.

Are you sure that your board has really emu20k1 or emu20k2 chip?
X-Fi isn't always with these chips.  Some are HD-audio only (thus
snd-hda-intel is the right driver) and some are with CA0106 chip.

Re: SB X-Fi driver fixes (Re: Testers wanted:

I am using the snd-ctxfi driver on a 64-bit version of fedora code 7.
Is there anyone else working on a 64-bit system?

There are some compile warnings during the compilation of the driver,
but no errors.
But no sound, either, so far.

I have also taken the 1.0.20 library, utils and tools sources from the
Alsa main downloads.

In order to compile the utils I had to link the 64-bit sound libraries
to /usr/lib/libasound.2.0.0, in other words:
(cd /lib64; ln -s /usr/lib/libasound.2.0.0 libasound.2.0.0; ln -s
/usr/lib/libasound.2.0.0 libasound.2)
There is no /lib64/libasound.la

Also had to install xmlto (yum install xmlto).

So far I have added the snd-hda-intel driver to the blacklist but still
the Soundcard Detection shows snd-hda-intel.

Any ideas, anyone?

Regards
Bill

Yes, me!
Gentoo Linux x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Kernel 2.6.29-gentoo-r5

Here are the Warnings I get:
/usr/src/alsa-driver/acore/sound.c: In function 'snd_request_other':
/usr/src/alsa-driver/acore/sound.c:99: warning: format not a string
literal and no format arguments

/usr/src/alsa-driver/acore/seq/seq_clientmgr.c: In function
'snd_seq_info_dump_subscribers':
/usr/src/alsa-driver/acore/seq/seq_clientmgr.c:2465: warning: format not
a string literal and no format arguments

So... Nothing serious...

> But no sound, either, so far.
Did you try "modprobe snd_ctxfi"?
Did you unmute all needed Channels?

> I have also taken the 1.0.20 library, utils and tools sources from the

My versions (if it helps):
media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.18
media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.18

Both normally installed through packet management a while ago (when
installing the system)

> Any ideas, anyone?
Sorry, only one:
Try loading the module "snd_ctxfi" manually.
Does this work? Any errors? dmesg-output?
