    Can't install X-Fi drivers in 9.10

    build-essential is installed as well as kernel headers for:

    Code:
    linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic-pae is already the newest version.
    Any ideas?

    -------------Edit------------------

    It actually is already installed, I just needed to un-mute it because the ATI HDMI driver took precedence.

    I have sound for some reason, but line-in doesn't work. Glad everyone else is having fun with their new OS while we sit here struggling to get our sound working.

    Yeah mine is working fine, it was just muted by default because i have 2 audio devices, I un-muted it and it works fine, didn't test line in yet.

    My solution may not work for all. But I ended up giving up on my X-Fi working under any version of Linux. I'm multi booted. I installed my old Sound Blaster Live. Now I have two sounds cards running on my system. The Linux uses the SB Live, while Vista runs the X-Fi. Works perfectly because Vista doesn't see the SB Live and Linux doesn't see the X-Fi. Also, I run 64 bit versions of both.

    Your X-Fi should/may work on 9.10 after installing the
    Code:
    linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic
    and rebooting.

    I installed oss drivers (oopensound.com), then had to delete /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp and make new links to point to the right devices.
    Now I have some sound, for example I have sound when I use firefox, but not in applications that use gstreamer (everything else).

    OK, nevermind the OSS, I got it working with alsa.
    Remove the OSS and follow these steps:

    I know that it's not the best solution.. but after a bunch of tries it worked for me =)
    I simply removed the include directives of sound/driver.h present in xfi.c and ctac.h
    After I comment the following statement in xfi.h
    //card = snd_card_new(index[dev], id[dev], THIS_MODULE, 0);
    (the function snd_card_new probably is called from sound/driver.h)
    After that I successfully compiled and installed and after a reboot the sound was working fine good.
