You know what also happened? Updates. ;) Things like kernel updates
happen that will make you rebase you compiled drivers aginst these new
changes. Make sure you have latest kernel headers and all that.

Also just watch what you call a bug when you're not using the distro as
designed. More often that not, it's user error.  I can't tell you how
many times even now I personally just missed something.

If you are completely up to date (note that you have to make sure you
have all current headers and such installed. don't just rely on the
update manager) and you purged then re-compiled drivers still don't
work, hopefully we can get you some help and see if this really is a bug.

I'm going to re-install everything tomorrow and see what happens with the 
automatic drivers. I have the feeling that sound just does not work when using 
the Generic kernel. At all. Under any circumstances. But I'll know more 
tomorrow.

 There were lots of updates.

Generally, that isn't advised. Grabbing the latest install disk during
development is always advised. Things are meant to be broken and 2 weeks
of updates at one time like this can result in all kinds if hickups.
I've hit this many times and is why I run 2 installs at all times.

Quick fix: Grab latest disk and do a clean install. (better to wait for
final in a month)

Otherwise, wait around for someone who knows how to diagnose better than
I do.

I did a clean install today with today's daily build. I get the same problem. 
I suspect a Ubuntu bug.

Straying from what's shipped with a self-compiled ALSA can also
introduce many problems where you could think it's a Ubuntu bug.

Have you had your self-compiled ALSA work anywhere else? Debian install
maybe?

My drivers have worked great on Studio until a day or so ago. I have a Creative 
X-fi card and I love how it works. 
I have also not have any problems running wine sound programs on Studio. Wine 
as you probably know is incompatible with pulseaudio, so I have to purge 
pulseaudio before I do anything else. 
I went on the Ubuntu bug website, and someone else just reported recent sound 
problems with wine, and they did not compile their own drivers. So I added info 
to that bug. I will also inform the wine site that there may be a problem.

Sound card not recognized

2009-03-27 Thread Susan Cragin
Here's a puzzle. 
My jaunty ubuntu studio needed to be re-installed today, and I did so using a 
2-week-old installation disk. 
There were lots of updates. 
When I finished, I needed to set the system up to use wine and my Creative X-fi 
card, so I did the following:

apt-get purge pulseaudio (wine does not work with pulseaudio)

Then I compiled and installed a new alsa-driver that supports my Creative X-fi 
soundcard.

I re-booted. 

asoundconf list gave me:

Intel
Generic (this supports my X-fi card)

So I set-default-card Generic. 
And that worked to set the default. 

But neither wine nor Audacity sees my Generic (Creative X-fi) soundcard. All 
they see is Intel. 

Going through System / Admin / Sound Preference gives me the correct mixer 
option but not the correct playback option. 

What's up? What have I done differently this time? Why doesn't my X-fi work?

Thanks
Susan
