I have installed Ubuntu Studio 8.10 64-bit on a friend's computer. So far, we have no sound. Other than that, things are great. I've been around the forums & other linux forums, and nobody seems to be having the same issue.
It seems as though the card is not really being detected by the operating system. It shows up if I run "lspci":
04:00.0 PCI bridge: Creative Labs Device 7006
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
Bus: primary=04, secondary=05, subordinate=05, sec-latency=32
I/O behind bridge: 00008000-00008fff
Memory behind bridge: fda00000-fdafffff
Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 00000000fd900000-00000000fd9fffff
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel modules: shpchp
05:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG
Subsystem: Creative Labs Device 0018
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
Memory at fdafc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Obviously the card is being recognized. Plus, we have a dual-boot with Windows XP, and it works great there. But when I run "aplay -l" in a terminal, I get this:
fifelon@arenus:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:215: no soundcards found...
fifelon@arenus:~$
And when I run "asoundconf list", I get nothing at all:
fifelon@arenus:~$ asoundconf list
fifelon@arenus:~$
In addition, PulseAudio does not find the sound card at all. If I open the PulseAudio manager, there are no options for anything there. It simply tells me that there are no devices available.
I have been getting mixed feedback from the web amongst my research. Some people say that the chipset itself is not an X-Fi Xtreme at all, but rather it is an Audigy chipset. This is somewhat confusing also.
Has anyone else had this problem? I appreciate any input or suggestions anyone has for me.
