Public bug reported:
X-fi PCI-e card seems to be the issue. Hasn't worked since, I believe,
kernel 3.8.x - sound failed on Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04.
Last working config was using 14.04 on, I believe, kernel 3.8.x -
although Google tells me 14.04.2 used kernel 3.16 ... I vaguely recall
rolling back
In the past two weeks my PC has powered itself off several times -
usually over night but twice while I was using it. I initially suspected
VirtualBox as each time it happened to me I had a USB device attached to
the guest system.
The overnight shutdowns didn't have VirtualBox open though - only

I was using e17 with Ubuntu 12.10.
After upgrading to 13.04 last week I switched back to Unity.
Startup applications start randomly or not at all.
Nothing fancy, just trying to start xscreensaver, Chrome, Pidgin and
VirtualBox ... sometime Pidgin will start. xscreensaver, Chrome and
VirtualBox
PulseAudio/ALSA produced the same horrible white noise for me - it did
work once after dual booting into Windows7 and getting the card working
in Windows, rebooting into Linux produced a working soundcard until my
next cold boot.
I ended up getting the sound working with the OSS4 drivers from
Fresh install of 9.10 AMD64 - Ubuntu recognises the card and shows the sound
card in the Sound Preferences Control Panel as:
[SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG but doesn't work.
