First, I suggest you make sure your system is completely up to date. It appears that you are still running a kernel from lucid. The latest maverick kernel version is 2.6.35-21-generic. Make sure you have the linux-generic and linux-headers-generic packages installed and up to date.
Unfortunately Linux support for the X-Fi series of hardware is not very good at the moment, so once you are running an up to date kernel, I can instruct you on how to update your alsa drivers to the latest code, so that the chances of your X-Fi card working are somewhat increased. affects ubuntu/alsa-driver status incomplete ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- No sound recording possible from microphone with Creative X-Fi ExtremeGamer soundcard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/642404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
