Is this card supported by ALSA yet in F9?


/sbin/lspci -v

...

03:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG
Subsystem: Creative Labs Unknown device 0018

...

My onboard soundcard recently stopped working and all I get is hissing
from it. So I just purchased this card and stupidly forgot to check for
Linux support. AFAICT it's a fairly new card and the driver is/was in beta.

AFAIK, no - X-FI should be supported by the next alsa release.
If you rather buy Creative, get an emu10k1 (SB Live/Audigy/Audigy 2) or
a ca0106 (Audigy value) based card.

I have the same problem.

I try to install the beta driver given by Creative, but I have a issue
installation I don't understand for the moment.


On an other way, why this card can't be supported by Alsa in the next
releases ?

Never tested it myself - but AFAIK the binary driver is a complete POS.

Can't? It -will- be supported - question is -when-.
AFAIR Creative released the spec back in March (?), after close to two
years of wait.

Now that they have, the alsa team will need a couple of months for first
release. (Let alone full blown support)

In short, I'd avoid buying an X-FI card until the alsa driver is
released and stabilized. (F-10 timeframe?)
