It works now on many other distributons, like debian-based (Ubuntu, Linux mint...)
You have to compile and install newest alsa-firmware. Followed "linux from scratch" instructions. I have an SB audigy RX and reinstalled Ubuntu Linux (14.10, x64) on unity desktop because i can’t get it working under KDE. I made this instal script, save to file e.g. install.sh, run as root in terminal: chmod +x install.sh && sudo ./install.sh Please REMOVE 6 spaces from 3 ftp links from code below (webpage bullying for link posting) ################### #!/bin/sh apt-get install gcc libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev dpkg-dev apt-get remove alsa-utils #if you have lower version than 1.0.29 wget ftp: //ftp.alsa-project. org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.29.tar.bz2 tar -xf alsa-lib-1.0.29.tar.bz2 cd alsa-lib-1.0.29 ./configure make make install cd .. wget ftp: //ftp.alsa-project. org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.29.tar.bz2 tar -xf alsa-utils-1.0.29.tar.bz2 cd alsa-utils-1.0.29 ./configure --disable-alsaconf --disable-xmlto make make install cd .. wget ftp: //ftp.alsa-project. org/pub/firmware/alsa-firmware-1.0.29.tar.bz2 tar -xf alsa-firmware-1.0.29.tar.bz2 cd alsa-firmware-1.0.29 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install cd .. sleep 1 alsa reload ################### Now works fine for stereo and sorround output! (Inputs not tested yet) Now you can use sound settings under unity taskbar. Before installing alsa-firmware card works only mono with setting S/PDIF on INPUT tab. My outputs for lspci -nnv and dmesg: 03:00.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value [1102:0008] Subsystem: Creative Labs Device [1102:1024] Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18 I/O ports at b800 [size=64] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: snd_emu10k1 dmesg |grep Audigy [ 5.251893] snd_emu10k1 0000:03:00.0: Audigy2 value: Special config. |
Thank you so much for this post, it's the oinly place where I found a fix for such a widespread problem.
My Audigy works now, on Linux Mint 17.2, along with my Radeon R7 250. I used nortin script. |
I made sound working on Debian 8.2, with two snd_hda_intel, but I'm not sure how, below is list of changes that i did:
Create modprobe.conf in /etc/modprobe.d with “options snd_hda_intel enable=0,1” - 0 disables first snd_hda_intel, 1 enables second snd_hda_intel delete /etc/asound.conf if you created any go to /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and set line: defaults.pcm.dmix.rate 48000 In my case i had to fiddle with “defaults.pcm.dmix.format "S24_LE"” – this setting doesn't work but after setting it back do "unchanged" i had sound when running alsa only, you could try "S32_LE" or "S16_LE" on your own, go to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf set default-sample-rate = 48000 and, in my case, default-sample-channels = 6 Again I played a little with default-sample-format = s16le, but in the end I commented out this line, test it on your own Restart, run alsamixer, default device (pulse) is shown first, change sound levels mute/unmute by “M”, go to your sound card and do the same run pavucontrol and enable sound (it was muted by default) Run some music and test setings by “cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params” to check if sample rate and format is as you set in conf I hope it helps someone, who has problems with this card |
