Hi all,
An install of Kubuntu 8.10 on the desktop is working great, with the exception of sound:
steve@kubuntu-master:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
steve@kubuntu-master:~$ lspci -v
---snp
03:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG
Subsystem: Creative Labs Device 0018
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 12
Memory at d2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
---snp
This is a pain since Ubuntu is much better for work than the other OS on it (XP) but I need music whilst working.
Reading around it sounds like this card is actually an Audigy one with emu10k1 chipset rather than a true X-Fi. In which case I should be able to get it working. Can anyone help me out with this? Am I right in this interpretation, and if so can you point me to a driver that they know works ?
Thanks for any help,
Stevo
