CentOS 5 Hardware :: Creative X-Fi Soundcard Driver Installation
Apr 12, 2009
I try to install the sound driver for a creative X-Fi card.
2 steps, make and make install.
make works at this moment, because I add #include <linux/delay.h> to both cthw20k1.c and cthw20k2.c. Otherwise you get the output
/home/hao/build/xfi/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00/cthw20k2.c:1315: error: implicit declaration of function mdelay
make[2]: *** [/home/hao/build/xfi/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00/cthw20k2.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/hao/build/xfi/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00] Error 2

I own an external usb soundcard: Creative Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1. After some tweaking around Multimedia Settings, (K)Ubuntu 9.10 successfully detected the card. I can now use it.
However, setting the sound level in KMixer does not work at all - KMixer now only contains a Microphone channel. Using hotkeys, I can still turn volume from 0 to 100%, but that has no effect on the volume produced by the soundcard. The sound card comes with a sound joggle, but turning it left or right has no effect whatsoever on the volume level.
Is there a way to solve either of these issues? p.s. Also, the card came with a Windows app and driver cd.

I have a Creative Xi-Fi sound card. There is a driver installed currently, but unless my sound is at 100%, everything sounds distorted. My first inclination, as a Windows user, would be to update the driver. So, I downloaded the driver from their site in the form of a .tar.gz. I followed the guide here: [URL] But, as soon as I get to the step where I actually compile it (make), I get errors.
Code:
user@user-XFX-Nforce-680i-LT:~/Desktop/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00$ sudo make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/build M=/home/user/Desktop/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic'

How do I know what sound system my Centos 5.5 install is using and how would I configure which soundcard output to use? I want to use the digital coax output from my M-Audio PCI soundcard, which appears to be detected and loaded. When I launch MPD, it autodetects an alsa sound system, but programs like alsamixer don't exist and I can't hear any sound out of the digital coax output. I haven't checked the 3.5mm stereo out yet.A little confused as to which documentation to be looking at at this point.

Using CentOS 5 on a Toshiba laptop with an Edirol UA-4fx USB audio capture external sound card. I would like to be able to record internet radio and also record live sound from the USB card. The sound card that comes with the laptop is really bad.
I listen to the output from internet radio though the earphone jack on the USB card and the sound is really nice. I can record in Vista by running a line from the earphone jack on the USB card to the laptop mic jack and selecting "mic" as input in Audacity. The "mic" setting does not show up in Audacity in CentOS.
I tired Krec but do not see any input from the USB card, even though there is very nice sound great thought the card earphone jack. I do not understand the sound archetecture and would love to find a good "linux sound archetecture for dummies" article. Meanwhile can you suggest a simple way to record output from the USB card in CentOS?

I have a new HP Z800 workstation that came with a Creative Lab X-Fi Titanium (EMU20k2) sound card install.
I haven't had any luck getting it to work with the CentOS 5 system drivers so I went to their site and downloaded the driver for Linux (64 bit)[URL]... It fails to compile with the following error

Recently i put a DAC connected to the CL X-FI board via the SPDIF interface. Result is i can listen only one channel, the left one (hedaphone) while using the xmms, audacious.
The thing is that i'm able to listen both channels if i use the VLC configured with the same output, that is hw:2,4.
Info:
[root@kryptonbox ~]# lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_midi 12353 0
snd_ctxfi 80557 1
snd_seq_dummy 7877 0

Recently I installed a new soundcard to my computer, and I don't have any sound anymore in Linux. Now I have in YaST two sound chips, one AC97 and my soundcard Asus Xonar Essence STX. Obviously Linux detected my soundcard since the custom driver called "Virtuoso" is there. However, my soundchip has still the slot 0, and my soundcard is not configured yet. And here I'm stuck, because:
1. when I tried to delete the AC97 entry, YaST hangs (actually y2base or something like that, the sound subprogram). Alternatively, I tried to just disable the driver, but this wasn't possible (unlike with Windows, where you just click a checkbox).
2. when I tried to configure my new soundcard, the configuration program got stuck again - with every of the three alternatives (fast setup, normal setup and custom setup or so).
I also tried whether the old soundchip is still working, plugging in my headphone into the output of the AC97 soundchip, but I didn't hear anything, so system sound really seems to be broken.

I've been a long time Debian user but now I'm working with Red Hat and I'm a bit lost. I just installed a fresh install of CentOS 5.5 on a new Dell server. Dell provides a current Red Hat 5.5 driver for mpt2sas. How do I install this driver?
The Dell instructions are not that helpful. They explain an RPM Install and a DKMS Install - what's the difference between the two?

I put "%" before and after my username and name which gave the install an error. So I changed the username to one without the special character '%' but left the name with and the setup proceeded with an error and skipped the other three stages (sound testing, time, hardware setup). But everything seems fine with the install except I have not configured the sound card.
From what I have seen the install is pretty much fine other than the lack of functions which I obviously missed during the preference end section of the install. And so I was wondering is there a way to manually detect and use a easily configure a sound card or any way for that matter? The installation guide of Fedora 11 gives advice that was outdated 'system-configure-soundcard"(or something similar) has been removed since F9.

Currently have a few mixers installed which may be conflicting but the extra mixers were a symptom I created due to the no sound problem. The mixers are definitely not the major cause though. My onboard motherboard sound has not been set up as a module to be run is what I assume but any help would be great.

I am a linux newbie, I spent more than 3 days trying to set up the drivers for my Intersil Prism 2 Wi-Fi adapter on CentOS 5.5. While trying to Make the driver source I receive errors of missing libraries. Is the hostap driver included in the Centos Kernel? I tried with insmod hostap but it didn't work..? Is there a kernel patch with the hostap drivers? I will be glad if someone can give me ideas or directions for setting up the driver properly.

I am attempting to load CentOS 5 on an Acer 6900 desktop and I'm not even getting out of the starting gate. I am familiar with using linux but not the install procedure which is why I am beginning to dive into this. However, when I bring the system up off the Linux boot disk and go to install it's not even giving me the option of the controller so I can begin installing the os from the dvd-rom. This is what acer lists as the controller for the 6900: ich8 serial ata storage controller 2820 linux driver. I cannot find this driver for linux anywhere.

I've a Centos 5.1 server on S5000vsa Intel board with 6 bay HD in raid 1 mode (2 HD), and working fine until I've decide to make a yum update. Today the Centos is 5.4 but seems necesssary to upgrade the megasr driver for the raid function (i.e. , is not possible to contact the raid firmware trought Web Console 2). I've download the last megasr driver from Intel and I follow the instruction to upgrade the driver with s.o. installed, but when I start the server and choose via grub the new img boot file, the display show :
megasr.ko invalid module format -1 and stop. The linux version is the same in the machine (uname -a) and from the driver (2.6.18-164.9.1.el5). Another question : in Intel instruction spoken about megasr.o , but on img file I found a megasr.ko . I think instructions referre to old linux 2.4

I have a computer without a soundcard and want to stream sound from it. How can I force ALSA to ignore the lack of a soundcard? Whatever I try to do, it complains that it cannot find one.Or could I trick ALSA by making a file /dev/dsp that links to /dev/null or something like that?

I have just installed a Xonar dg onto Ubuntu10.10The MBoard is also Asus with a built in card that works ok. The AlSA site says it may work (although no drivers for this are specific) as it uses a CM 18786 chip & I believe snd-cmipci contains the driver for this.My motherboard has its own driver built in, I can turn this of in the BIOS.Is their an easy install/driver option with Ubuntu 10.10?

I installed Fedora 14 today, and have most things setup. However, I am not able to get my Creative Zen MX working correctly. After plugging the device into my computer, it gets automatically mounted ok, and I can browse it, however running mtp-detect gives the following:
ibmtp version: 1.0.3

No raw devices found.
Gnomad2 also does not find the device. I would like to get this setup so I can sync my songs / playlists.

I am running Open Suse 11.0 and KDE 3.5.10 and I am trying with no success to use my Creative Zen X-fi mp3 player, my main objective being to be able to download some podcasts into my Zen I tried with Amarok which does not recognize it. Banshee sees it and I was able to import from my Zen into my computer but not the other way around I guess I have to mount it somewhat but I do not know how. I tried mtpfs but probably did not do it right
I am very new to Linux (probably an obvious statement from what I said before) and learning it the hard way.
