Ubuntu Multimedia :: Installing Creative Xi-Fi Driver (64-bit)
Oct 14, 2010
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'

I recently got a Creative Zen Mosaic EZ100 MP3 player, however when I dock it to my computer and try to install it by clicking the 'set-up.exe' file in the Starter Pack folder, Archive manager gives me this message/Command Line output:
Wondered if there are some settings I need to tweak somewhere or something a bit more involved.

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

I am trying to install the video driver for my hp a1010n. The video device is a 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics. I have seen a few sites that have referenced this but they were not written for new users and I could not figure out how to install it. I am fairly adept at usage of computers (mostly Windows OS) but am not yet familiar with Ubuntu so I am aware of the absolute basics... I am just not sure what commands to use in the terminal and etc.. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I am having problems installing the graphics driver (from the Nvidia website) for my Nvidia Vanta card on Ubuntu 10.04. I disabled X via terminal and then I ran a Virtual Console. With the virtual console I ran the chmod command and the went through the installation. It did bring up a message with something about my distro not having a pre-configured script (or something like that) and asked me if I would like to continue anyway. I choose Yes and the installation failed.

I tried to install the 3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for my graphics card but it doesn't work.
I went to System > Administration > Hardware drivers.
It downloads but when trying to install I get an error that says: "SystemError: installArchives() failed"
lspci shows:
Code:
xavi@xavi-laptop:~$ lspci | grep VGA

I am trying to setup a computer with xubuntu 10.10 for my dad. It is mostly working, but flash animations/games run somewhat poorly. I think I might be able to fix this by using the non-free nvidia drivers, but I cannot seem to get them installed.
Sysinfo reports that the video card is an nvidia geforce mx200, so I downloaded the nvidia 96 driver package from the repositories, ran the configuration program, & rebooted. As you may guess, x did not load.
I have been working on this intermittently for a few weeks, & I do not remember everything I might have tried to fix it, but here is what I am sure of:
Sysinfo reports that the video card is an nvidia geforce mx200
when i try "sudo modprobe nvidia," I get the message "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." "sudo modprobe nvidia-96" gives no such error.
When I check the Xorg.0.log, I find:
The nouveau driver does not seem to work either, but if I remove the xorg.conf file, x works okay. How to get Flashplayer running more smoothly.

I don't have any sound after installing Linuxant ALSA driver. I tried uninstalling it and the hsf driver, didn't help. Reinstalling ALSA didn't help either. Ubuntu doesn't detect my sound card, and aplay doesn't detect my sound card. lspci -v output for sound card:

I tried to install drivers for my GeForce GT 630M graphic card. At first, I just installed nvidia-detect and there was a suggestion to install nvidia-driver:
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install nvidia-detect
nvidia-detect
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver
After reboot, there was a sad ?monitor like this one: [URL] ....
After first failure, I tried to use Debian wiki tutorial for Debian Jessie (probably I should have done this at first )
Code: Select allaptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms
echo -e 'Section "Device"
Identifier "GPU Nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection' > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
But also without success. Now I can't use X at all.

I installed ubuntu 9.10 last week and it is my ambition to completely switch to this platform at some point. However, I am experiencing some difficulties with the different music players at hand. I currently try to use exaile as my main player. But I can't make it connect to my mp3 player. My player is a Creative Zen X-fi 8GB. Can anyone guide me through the process of making exaile compatible with my zen? As far as I can read from different posts, it should be possible... Another question of mine is the following. Is it possible to edit the artist names in the music library. My problem is that exaile has one entry with the artist name Band of Horses and another with the artist name Band Of Horses. I would like to have these entries as only one entry, but I don't know how to edit the one or the other. Right-clicking doesn't lead to anything...

I have a creative zen mozaic that I'm trying to get working on ubuntu 10.10. I didn't get it to work on 10.04 but I didn't really try that hard. I conenct the player. It shows up as a disk and I copy over files but they wont be recognized by the player. It say's it's nothing there. If you open it in windows they will show and if you just remve them and copy them back in in windows the player will recognize them. How do I get this to work with ubuntu? This is the only reason to keep windows for me atm.

I'm new to Ubuntu, but have some experience with *NIX (specifically Red Hat and AIX.) I'm not getting any bass out of my 4.1 Logitech THX setup. The surround speakers are operating fine. I know that the bass unit itself is working because I was using it with windows on this computer before I made the switch to Ubuntu. If I run a speaker test from either the sound preferences or the terminal, the speakers work but the bass does not. I ran this command from a terminal to help with the diagnostic effort, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at:
Code:
wget [URL] -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh
Here is the output of the above command: [URL]
I have been searching for an answer to this question for some time now and can't see to find the relevant information anywhere.

Just 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 own a creative zen and have used it quite well with banshee over the last few years,
I recently upgraded to ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 with banshee 1.8.1 and everytime I connect the player to banshee the Zen freezes (and yes I mean EVERY time)
Thought it might be a Zen problem so ran recovery tool and reinstalled the latest firmware
tried getting Gnomad2 from older versions and tried to get it to work with no success
Read quite a few forums and tried the 1) Plug in Zen 2) Unmount 3) Open Banshee 4) Sync method however during the syncing stage it still freezes..

Very new to linux, just downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 and installed it, dual boot, no problems with initial installation.
Trying to install graphics card driver for:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 GTS 512] (rev a2)
Using Administration -> Hardware Devices
I selected the recommended driver and clicked activate. Download started then failed with error message:
SystemError: Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...ntu3_amd64.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.30 80]
Screenshot attached.
Tried several times now and the download doesn't even seem to start any more.
My Internet connection is 3 mobile broadband, which may have something to do with it, bit it seems to be working well at the moment.

I've tried for some time now to get my Zen 16GB working properly with Ubuntu 10.04. I've tried Rhythmbox and this works for mp3s but album art is not transferring. I have latest 0.13 Rhythmbox and now at leat the mp3's go in directories under Music, but the .alb file is put a root and not ar is displayed.
I have tried gnomad2 and the latest (2.9.4?) crashes with 10.04 when reading the Zen. I can't drag and drop in nautilus and the it is connected as gphoto and the tags are not copied over. So, for all you Zen users.. how are you trandfering mp3's (with album art!) over to your Zen's?

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 just bought a Creative Soundblaster X-fi Surround 5.1 Pro, and I'm having trouble getting it to work with flash or vlc. I hear audio from Amarok (audio player) and DragonPlayer (video player), but when I use vlc or flash it just comes out of my onboard speakers.
Here are two images of my audio setup:

Additional info: Also, when I click the 'test' button for soundblaster on video, i hear sound.

I'm trying to get my Creative Zen V Plus working. Ubuntu sees it when I plug it in, and suggests programs to open it with. Also, it shows up under "$lsusb", but when I tried using gnomad2 and kzenexplorer, they couldn't find any jukeboxes. Also, rhythmbox doesn't show any players.

There 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.

The zen micro doesn't appear in "places" menu but Inot sure whether this is an issue...when I enter lsusb in a terminal it getsBus 001 Device 004: ID 041e:411e Creative Technology, Ltd Zen Micro
