New Ubuntu Gutsy install, alsamixer missing pkg

so I guess my onboard card is Firewire? Anyway, this really sucks not being able to figure this out. Yes, new, but surely someone can send me in the right direction for a fix. Have tried many suggestions off the boards/forums and other fixes, to no avail.

Hi !

please run this script and give a link to the generated report

http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh

need more instructions on how to run a shell script in Linux please.

Thanks.

OK.

download the script in your home directory. Open a terminal, and type

bash alsa-info.sh

the link should have posted- I replied, but haven't received an email...link
was at 782015...do I need to repost it?

Thanks so much.

Your ALSA information is located at http://pastebin.ca/782015

Sorry about that duplication. Wanted to be sure you have the right info.

Thanks again.

alsa does not recognize anything more than the SB Xfi. enter the following command to see if the other card is at least detected by linux

sudo lshw -C multimedia

What is your processor (enter the following command "cat /proc/cpuinfo" if you don't know) ?

because there are drivers for your card if you are using a 64bit version of linux

Just so we are clear, here is the actual info {so I don't mess it up in the translation}:

I guess through our other gyrations we have managed to get all of the Alsa packages installed, but now we need the driver for the SB XFi card, is that what you mean? Otherwise it doesn't seem to want to believe there is any other sort of onboard card. Quite frankly, we just want to stop living the life of sign language! Your help much appreciated!

I have located the beta driver released by Creative Labs for the X-fi card, released in Sep. 2007; we may give this a shot. We're not stupid, just not knowledgable about this particular thing.

I checked out the known issues and it does not appear to have any conflicts with what we have going now. Fingers crossed and we will see if my son can download this and get it to run the card on our own.

If you do have any other suggestions, please continue to post.

Many thanks,

R

Works...thanks Olivier!

Cool. Enjoy your sound !
