I must get this card running, still trying ... I'm now running 2.6.27-r7, ALSA as a module, and emerged the xfi-drivers. After removing the onboard snd_hda_intel module and loading the ctxfi drivers, here's what I end up with.

Code:

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ctxfi                  52648  0
snd_seq                50336  0
snd_seq_device          8660  1 snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            26272  0
snd_mixer_oss          16512  1 snd_pcm_oss
nvidia               7800168  26
i2c_core               22880  1 nvidia
snd_pcm                65480  2 ctxfi,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              21776  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    54984  7 ctxfi,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               8736  1 snd
snd_page_alloc         10000  1 snd_pcm


After loading the X-Fi drivers ...
Code:

modprobe ctxfi


This appears in my /var/log/messages ...
Code:

Jan  2 14:53:32 Storm ctatc: Card not recognised
Jan  2 14:53:32 Storm CTALSA: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -2


I'm starting to think the card that I have really isn't being recognized and that the card id or something about this card is different than the normal X-Fi cards which people have running. This card is a SB Fatal1ty that's enclosed in the black mesh like casing on the card, and also has the front face plate panel w/ jacks and lights. Though I thought the card would be the same.

I've read somewhere's, but can no longer find it, that the vendor:device id as shown below (2nd line ... [1102:0043]) isn't what's in the code and that most dev id's for this card are 42 or something, but I can't verify any of this. Anyone have ideas what I could try to get this card recognized?

Code:

06:00.0 Audio device [0403]: Creative Labs Device [1102:000b] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Creative Labs Device [1102:0043]

Hey Wizumwalt,

i had the same problem, although with a slightly different card (X-FI Titanium).

I've written a short guide which worked for me. It's a bit, uhm well, 'unconventional', but you can stick to it until Creative fix their drivers.

I hope this will help you

P.S.: The post you were looking for is the one above mine :)
