I can confirm the exact same behaviour Termo described. There are two speaker outputs for creative xmod in alsamixer, and pulse is controlling the wrong one. I have also added
; Special stereo-out for Creative Xmod card [Mapping xmod-stereo-out] device-strings = surround51:%f description = Analog Stereo Creative Xmod channel-map = front-left,front-right paths-output = analog-output direction = output priority = 10 to /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf as Øyvind suggested, and that fixed the crackly sound issues. Also, i can confirm the bug described by the reporter. It is like this: If my computer is already running and i plug in the xmod for the first time, there is only analog stereo input available in the mixer, any output cannot be selected from the profile menu. To fix this i have to use "pulseaudio -k" and "pulseaudio -D" which makes the other profiles appear. If i boot the computer with my xmod plugged in all profiles are available from the beginning and it is possible to get sound output, however, i had to use the fix mentioned above in order to a stereo profile with get clear sound. -- USB creative xmod XFI Output does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429642 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
