I just gave up and got me a Asus Xonar sound card and disabled the onboard. Works a treat!
The longer I worked with it, the more I got convinced it's a crappy chip. Even in Windows 10 it doesn't work properly - sometimes the volume levels are ignored or attached to different outputs than they should be. Also, when I started Ubuntu 16.04 once, I needed to completely shut down the computer - if I just reboot to Windows it will also not work in Windows. After a shut down it usually works again. I have no clue what this chip is doing and how it's interacting with the driver on Linux, but it's bad. Very bad. -- 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
