[Bug 214900] [NEW] X-Fi Sound Card Not Working cecessitates Ubuntu Removal
Public bug reported: Here is what happens after I reported a problem to Ubuntu via Launchpad This is what the person who notifies Ubuntu about a problem receives in their inbox every couple of days. Of course the person reporting the problem cannot do anything to resolve the problem. This is an example of 3 days of bounced emails total is over 30 bounced emails. Of course Ubuntu takes no action! So I took action, I removed Ubuntu and went back to Windows XP, where the sound card works!

I have an ASUS computer, for which there are numerous Hardy sound problems, some of them related to the decision to use pulse, which doesn't work correctly with WINE. These issues are going to be resolved only gradually. The new computers don't have PCMCIA any more, they have those new slots, for which only this card works. Sound isn't an option for me, it's a necessity. I have RMI and use Dragon NaturallySpeaking with WINE to enter text. Getting good sound is my highest priority..

The wikipedia article mentions them. If they can be made for 64, then they can be made for 32 also, without too much trouble. Third parties have done work on this.

OSS is having betasupport for this card but OSS will not be used in Ubuntu, and alsa can not make a driver for the card if Creative does not give them the sources and Creative dont want to do that. Thwy want to develop a restricted driver, and that has been made for 64bit systems, however it didnt work for many people and I think it will take a long time before Creative give this a high priority. Sadly.

I have also heard this seems to work via ALSA/OSS on 64 bit systems (and confirmed it myself via a 64 bit install); however, it still does NOT function on a 32-bit install and/or system (one in the same, sorry for the clarified sentence...). Any ideas? It's been well over a year since this issue has surfaced. Dell is starting to use this card lien (X-Fi) in mostly ALL Dell XPS systems (710/720/730s) and I really ALSA/OSS might have the heat on for getting it supported in their 32 bit versions (if even for that). As far as I can tell, there is no work around (because I have tried everything!).

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance that means this bug should have High importance - someone should change this. Subject: [Bug 63352] Re: Creative labs X-Fi sound card unsupported From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 5:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I agree, specially since the X-Fi is now one of the main selling cards for the Sound Blaster trademark and no matter what store you go into (Micro Center, BestBuy, Circuit City) or even buy your P.C. directly from Dell like I did (the XPS series!), it comes with an X-Fi card.

[Bug 134438] Re: Starting in tribe5 the Ubuntu GRUB Bootloader fails to offer the option of using Windows
Starting in tribe5 the Ubuntu GRUB Bootloader fails to offer the option of using Windows After downloading and installing tribe5 the GRUB Bootloader fails to offer the choice of mounting the windows partition or the ubuntu partition. It appears Ubuntu is intending to be the only OS available. The words “Other Operating Systems” show up for about 3 seconds, but Other Operating Systems are not identified and the GRUB Bootloader goes on to install Ubuntu only. During the install of tribe5, the GRUB bootloader did not identify other OS's nor does it offer to include them. The Ubuntu installer does partition the drive and if necessary retains the Windows partition but makes it unreachable. The program goes directly into Ubuntu even though the disk can be partitioned with a Windows partition and a Ubuntu partition. When restarting from Ubuntu no way into the windows partition is offered. It says for GRUB press ESCAPE key. After pressing ESCAPE the only Operating System offered by GRUB is Ubuntu.

[Bug 110467] Partitioner Should Resize Partitions
Public bug reported: I have a 500 GB hard drive with WindowsXP already installed. With the Released Ubuntu 7.04 CD inserted and the computer restarted the Ubuntu installer is started. I answer the simple questions and wait for the partitioner to offer to split the 500 GB drive and resize the partitions. The partitioner only offers Guided using the entire 500 GB hard drive for Ubuntu or manually partitioning the hard drive. The partitioner only offers the solution of devoting my entire 500 GB drive to Ubuntu. Previously the Beta version offered to split the 500 GB by resizeing it into two partitions, one windows and one Ubuntu, and I could select the size of each partition. I'm trying to get that splitting of the hard drive to start with the released version. My attempt to manually partition the drive into two partitions fails.
