Thanks @Raymond!! So Earl, maybe we can try the suggestion from the bug there to get sound working: #Bootup normally, ensure sound works, then run these in the terminal and test the sound again: sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel position_fix=1
If the above works, we can see about adding it to the startup scripts.. Otherwise, maybe we can test this: 'Found a solution for my problems with the front headphone port. By default CA0132 has the HP/Speaker and HP/Speaker Auto Detect muted. Unmuting them by going into alsamixer and pressing M on their controls unmutes them and sound works.' As they mention in the bug, Creative needs to know.. http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=699748&page=12 Also, supposedly creative provided some source code or something, so hopefully this will all get ironed out soon. Or we could try the below, using the same rmmod/modprobe to test: more /etc/modprobe.d/ca0132.conf options snd_hda_intel position_fix=4 And as they also mention in the bug - get one SteamOS Linux dev on this and Creative will awaken to helping..
