Okay, I did a whole bunch of things tonight and I think I got mine working.
Added " options snd-hda-intel model=auto " to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=110209) Added " sudo apt-get install dkms " and downloading the most recent ALSA daily for 16.04 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS) Added " rmmod snd_hda_intel " and " modprobe snd_hda_intel position_fix=1 " to /etc/rc.local (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/221) Executed " sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-wily xserver-xorg-core-lts-wily xserver-xorg-lts-wily xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-wily xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-wily libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-wily " (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2293912) Installed hdajackretask [per mephi, #81 in this thread], selected Creative CA0132, and toggled Advanced override. Override Green Headphone, Front side. Set Device to Headphone and Channel (in group) to Front. Also the simple stuff like making sure your desired audio output device is set to default and not muted. Make sure to run alsamixer after each reboot because I find my output muted after every restart. Hope this helps someone! ** Bug watch added: github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues #221 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/221 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166529 Title: Creative Recon3d & Sound Blaster Z (CA0132), No Sound At All; Broken Beyond All Repair Status in ALSA driver: Unknown Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in alsa-driver package in Debian: New Bug description: [WORKAROUND] Run the following command: echo "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [EDIT] Workaround doesn't work anymore for me at least.
