Hi David, sorry for the messi posting, i am new to this...

so here is the errormessage of the multimedia panel test button:

La construction de la pipeline de test pour « ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture » a échoué

my system speaks french but I guess it translates to something like "the setup of the testpipeline has failed".

above i have posted the output of
florian@ubuntu:~$ lspci -nv
and
florian@ubuntu:~$ lspci -v

that show that my system kind of detects the hardware but doesn't use it right...

thanks for your time,

flocrypt

You should probably use ESD as default output since ALSA in Breezy don't support software mixing by default. So if you have ESD already running it locks ALSA devices and any other process can't use it.

Thank you Kamil, but ESD doesn't work either, in the panel "sound" there is no soundcard listed. So I think it needs the right drivers to be installed or something. Only I have no idea how to do that.

It look like the appropriate driver for your soundcard (CM8738) is 'cmpci'. Check if its loaded by typing:
lsmod | grep cmpci
in the terminal window. You should see sth like this:

cmpci 37812 0
gameport 16392 1 cmpci
soundcore 10912 2 cmpci,snd

If it returns nothing, load the module by command:
modprobe cmpci

To get it loaded at boot time add line:
cmpci
at the end of your /etc/modules file.

HTH

ahh sorry! :(
The name of a module for ALSA is snd-cmipci.
So you should use:

lsmod | grep cmipci
sudo modprobe snd-cmipci
snd-cmipci

respectively.
Again, sorry for the mess! :/

Ahaha!

Just installed Ubuntu (first time using Linux) and am also having the same problem with the same sound card! To a "lsmod | grep cmipci" request I get the following output:

snd_cmipci 30368 0
gameport 14472 1 snd_cmipci
snd_pcm 78344 3 snd_usb_audio,snd_cmipci,snd_pcm_oss
snd_opl3_lib 9856 1 snd_cmipci
snd_mpu401_uart 6784 1 snd_cmipci
snd 48644 13 snd_usb_audio,snd_cmipci,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device

If I understand properly, the driver is thus installed... How do I get it working, since the only "audio device" that shows up is the microphone on my USB Camera?

PND

I have soundcard, but i don't have a driver for ubuntu.Where I can find a good driver?? My soudcard is CMI8738. please help me!! This is first time when I am using Linux Ubuntu.

there is any possibility to run under ubuntu a xfi creative audio ? tk fish
