I tested the same openSuSE version with a non-Xen 64 bit kernel, and it doesn't work either. And I tried with this: Driver: alsa-driver-20090704.tar.bz2 Distribution: Kubuntu Karmic Alpha-2 Kernel: 2.6.30 (32 Bit) Under the latter setup the X-Fi Titanium works (Simple 2 channel test with speaker-test, audacity, amarok). :-)) What I now know/believe is this: - Alsa driver : not responisible (it works) - My Computer hardware : not responsible (it works) - Xen kernel: quite likely not responsible - Kernel < 2.6.30: Probably responsible - 64 Bit: Probably responsible - Other less likely stuff like NVIDIA driver (nv vs nvidia): Could be checked I will now check other combinations. Next will be Kernel 2.6.30 (64 bit), using openSUSE 11.2-Milestone3. Christian
