I have on-board intel sound card (snd-hda-intel) andCreative Labs X-Fi (snd-ctxfi)in file "/etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf" I put options snd slots=snd-ctxfialias snd-card-0 snd-ctxfiand now sound works on X-fi,but question is how to update yast database (have error on install X-Fi tough) and list snd-0 to x-fi and snd-1 to hda-intel
View 4 RepliesJust a quick how-to, to get mic working with Creative Labs SB X-Fi on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. This is a result of my conversation with a 'friend' I met on #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net, To begin, this is the card we are talking about:
Code:
$lspci | grep audio
05:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi
This card uses "snd-ctxfi" module for the audio output.
And this is how he got the mic to work using alsamixer. I have seen many thread/posts on the internet about this issue.
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
/home/squeen/downloads/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00/cthw20k2.c: In function 'hw_pll_init':

I just installed Lucid Lynx on a Thinkpad X60 last night in order to wring every last drop of utility out of it, and so my wife might have a notebook that she can use for Skype. I couldn't get the built-in microphone to pick anything up, but figured it didn't matter because I planned to use the one with the Creative Labs VF0400 camera. The problem is, using both Skype's test call, as well as the Sound Recorder program, the sampling rate may be out of whack because playback of anything recorded with the microphone sounds like the chipmunks (as in Alvin, Simon, Theodore) -- it sounds as though the playback has been sped up, though the Skype test call operator sounds just fine. If I can't get the microphone working, then that pretty much kills what I was going to use this computer for.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu as my main OS on my desktops for a couple of years now. Started off with a HP with a Creative Labs XiFi soundcard, but am now using a Dell with a Creative Labs Audigy. Sound worked perfectly on the Dell since a clean install (about 7 months ago). I turned it on a week or so ago, and no sound! Even the little sound indicator in the notification area has gone.

Can you suggest/recommend a sound card (5.1 preferred) that has a high success rate with the Linux OS. I will probably install Open Suse or Kubuntu. I'm more than willing to dump the high end sound card for less flash.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
been puzzling over this for a while, searched forums and net but no issues/solutions found. I have the above device plugged in and working fine. However when un-mounting - either through dolphin or device notifier, I get the report that the item is unmounted but then when removing USB cable from the Zen, it closes down and then rebuilds the entire 16GB collection - this takes quiet a bit of time and I worry that I may end up frying the Zen. Is there a fix for this in Suse or is it the zen. it doesn't happen on my work machine running windows though.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to use my Creative Zen Vision:M with OpenSuse for a while now. I can connect it fine and the system can see that it's there and everything like that and it even recharges the battery which is a great bonus. And while I can drag and drop folders with music files onto it, it won't update the playlist, in other words it knows there a files on the player but nothing else. So I usually have connect the Zen to my Windows machine drag them out of the player and drag the back in.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThere is a basic driver for it. I was wondering if anyone got it to work. Or is there another card that has been used successfully, especially with recording from a microphone. I am getting poor input from the mic source. Levels are low and broken up. Extensive research has pointed to ALSA/PulseAudio not being able to fine tune all sound cards. I am using the onboard currently, an ALC262.
In the meantime I was tempted to set the priorities higher for sound in general, in other words tweak ALSA and PA. Reason being is that many across a few distros have problems when resources are squeezed, like the times when proc load is at or near 100%, for example. I do not know how to tweak sound. Does anyone know?
I still want to try the Titanium since it could be utilized in 7 (ouch) as a luxury for recording "what you hear", and for superior sound reproduction as well.
Using Opensuse 11.3 (on an AMD64bit machine) and the latest version of the 32bit Skype package for Opensuse. Installed via links on skype.com (inc. mentioned dependencies on the skype website)Sound works fine but my webcam doesn't. It's a creative webcam instant model number: VF-0040.It works OK in Kopete, and is recognized as ZC3xx. In Skype the only webcam option is /dev/video0 which I can clearly see is not correct.

The player does appear as a device on the desktop and I can access files on the player through that icon, but cannot get Banshee to recognize it so it can be managed in Banshee.If however, I log on as root, Banshee recognizes the device without a problem.

I'm having a few problems with my Creative Zen and Banshee after swapping computers and upgrading to openSUSE 11.2. At first I was having problems because it wouldn't detect, but that seems to be about resolved now (although I do sometimes have to unmount it in Nautilus then disable and re-enable the MTP extension in Banshee at the moment). Now the problem appears to be that it'll transfer, but that the tracks won't play.
I'm using Banshee 1.5.2 with a custom build with this MTP on 64-bit patch added. I manually manage the device (I've got 10GB of music and an 8GB player, so I use a smart playlist that I manually sync with) and have been testing with just a few tracks at once - MP3 and M4A (iTunes+). Tracks generally copy over okay (although one MP3 in particular seems to freeze during transfer) but when I try to play them I get "There is a problem playing this audio".
I've tried Gnomad, but the tracks didn't show up at all, and I've tried Rhythmbox, but it doesn't sync album art, even for tracks I know it has the art for.Anyone had similar experiences or have any ideas? I've had all of these songs on there before, so it is annoying that it isn't working now.
I recently updated to OpenSUSE 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 . I do not find the great series of screensavers which existed in previous versions. I look in sysemsettings, desktop, but there I find only two version of blank screen as screensaver and no way to install something else.

Has anyone ever experienced an issue with a Creative Sound Blaster Live! Value Dell OEM sound card, models SB0200 and SB0203, using the EMU10K1X chip that causes any multimedia application (Amarok) or flash web site where the audio plays back way too fast?
I tried this on two different Dells, a Dimension 4600 and Dimension 8300. The only variable that was a constant was the Creative card. I took the OEM card out and put in another card, audio playback speed was fine. The only reason I am asking, even though the OEM card is slightly inferior, it has the front panel multimedia connector pins on the OEM card. Thus, if I use another card, either the front panel multimedia jacks become unusable or I have to turn on the integrated sound in the BIOS and run two sound cards.
I am trying to connect some USB 3.0 HDD's up to a Via Labs USB 3.0 Hub. When I type 'lsusb', it only lists the hub and not the devices. If I plug in a USB 2.0 device to the hub, it can be recognized. If I plug the USB 3.0 device directly into the system, it is also recognized.
In further investigating, I typed 'lsusb -v' and found that the USB 3.0 part of the hub has an error - under where the Hub Descriptor information is supposed to be, it says "** UNRECOGNIZED: 06 30 00 00 02 00 can't get hub descriptor: Broken Pipe"
So that explains why the drive can't be recognized. My question is: Is this a Linux problem or a Via Labs problem? I am running Slackware 13.1.
Is there somewhere on the system I can make Linux recognize this properly?
I have a computer with an integrated graphics card. It is ati radeon xpress 200 series. It have installed OpenSuse 11.1 on my computer with KDE 4.1. I have heard that we have to manually install ati and nvidia drivers. Or can the open source drivers run my card. has the drivers for my card already been installed. Or should i install it manually. I donot have an internet connection on my pc. but i can download the required files from another computer and bring them to my pc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSimilar to the other threads, but a completely different card/manufacturer. The others were mostly Nvidia. I have a dial boot machine, HP PAvillion with Windows 7 and now openSUSE, 11.4.
One (of my many problems right now!) is the screen / monitor constantly blinks/flashes/blanks. About every 15-20 seconds, it will go black for about 1-2 seconds and then come right back.
I was using KDE the first go around, and have since re-installed and am now running Gnome. I switched to Mint in between and did not have this problem. Also, I do not appear to have this happen at the logon screen. I have also tried ubuntu and didn't have the problem. I have checked the screen saver settings, and power save options and have them set to off and a couple of hours respectively. I have also modified the xorg.conf.d file to hard code the monitor settings. (Dell 23"). The card is Dual DVI out, and I have it converting to VGA to the monitor.
I am trying to join about 3 video file and have an audio track over the top. Nothing major and to give you an idea how basic it needs to be, I used windows movie maker in the past. I can't figure out how to do it! I had a flick through the web and some people recommended Avidmux. I installed it and i can edit one video file with no audio but if i try to incorporate a second file it just opens a new window! Has anyone got any ideas on good video editing software.
