Re: Issues w/ Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG

[Alnie <alnieb@yahoo.com>]

By default the version of Mint I'm using has 3.13.0-37 loaded. I just 
tried some previous versions of the kernel (3.13.0-27, 3.13.0-32 & 
3.13.0-36) and the same issues came up, although with -36, there was no 
output in dmesg in regards to probing DKMS, and no driver was 
associated. I also tried each kernel with the daily drivers removed as 
well, and the card was recognized but non functional (no driver 
associated). Also, in case hardware malfunction is considered, this card 
seems to work fine in windows for me. Thank you.
