The jack is very much a shiny silver colour physically. It's the jack with the 600 ohm headphone amp.
Getting CA0132 cards to work nicely in Linux is rather tricky. If you lose sound from a newer kernel, it's kind of complicated to get it back. I noticed that kernel 3.10 had the worst support, which caused some rather awful issues so I would avoid that when using CA0132 sound cards. Apparently using 3.10 would essentially kill your sound after a reboot which may or may not come back if you boot into kernel 3.8 and Windows. Every time I would lose sound, I would just boot into Windows and then boot into kernel 3.8 just to be safe. I don't have much extensive testing of kernel 3.11, but using the liquorix kernel (based on 3.11) right now, I haven't had any problems with sound after a reboot so far. I've rebooted 3 times and still have sound. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166529 Title: Creative Recon3d & Sound Blaster Z (CA0132), No Sound At All; Broken Beyond All Repair To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-driver/+bug/1166529/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
