HOWTO: Get your ESI MAYA 44 to work

[descendent87]

So the maya 44's now/will soon work out the box? Is this PCI/PCIe version or both?

Hi, I've got a Maya44 USB soundcard - any chance you would know how to get this to work on ubuntu?
I would really appreciate your help!

Paleorama,

I just read on a forum (link below) that the Maya44 USB is plug-&-play as of intrepid.

I am looking to get the PCIe version of this card, but don't want to spend $150 without being sure that it's going to work.

Does anyone know if the Maya44e is supported?

Also curious if this supports the PCIe version.

Hey, probably, try the later version of alsa-driver:

ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.19.tar.bz2

and apply the first patch attached to the topic called esimaya44patch-alsa-1.0.19.diff.tar.gz.
I had the similar problem with alsa-driver-1.0.17 but this one works fine.

hey,

i downloaded the files alsa-driver-1.0.19 tar.bz2 and esimaya44patch-alsa-driver-1.0.19.diff.tar.gz and afterwards i tried out to install it via TERMINAL under my ubuntu but it doesn't work. i'm completely new in the linux world and i'm sorry for perhaps stupid questions but i don't know the way to install the tar-files. i tried out the pathway, Patryk Krawczyk wrote on july 23th 2008 (with changed version 1.0.19) but it doesn't work after restart.

now my question: what do i wrong? can someone help me with the installation? i really would like to use my ESI maya 44 E118 soundcard under ubuntu.

cheers ciroyo

I have this card too. The internal Maya 44e. Worked fine on Vista with my DVR setup
but I upgraded to RTM Win 7 and now I can't get the vid and audio to sinc. I new I had a problem with this card on windows but I wonder what will happen when I put Ubuntu
on this box. I contacted ESI and they said drivers for 7 were being delveloped but when is another question. And that's for windows. I want it for Buntu so I'll try the above driver most likely.

Cool. Please let us know how it works out.

(especially phantom power. Has anyone tested phantom power on these cards?)

Hi, All!
And what is about newest ubuntu 9.10? Here is my situation: I've upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 and it played sounds "out of box", but I have no input and only one output ( no line-in, no mic, no headphone out). As I uderstand, newest ubuntu comes with alsa 1.0.20, I've upgraded to alsa 1.0.21 (latest) compiled with ./configure --with-cards=ice1724 --with-sequencer=yes options, with no result. Any ideas?

UPDATE: Now I found out, that I have all controls in alsamixer but not in gnome-volume-control, therefor the question is how to add these controllers to gnome.
