I have a computer a Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro
sound card.(pci card and break out box)
I have installed the CreativeXFi-kmp-pae driver
found on opensuse search for opensuse 11.1 32 bits.
Sound is working perfect but I can not see any soundcard under Yast hardware -sound device.
I want to use the midi port but it is not working
also the volume knob is not working.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install CreativeXFi-kmp-pae
2 Restart computer sound is working
3. Go to Yast -Hardware- Sound Device  ( no device is showing)

The YaST issue is just a missing entry in the database.  It needs to be updated.
Ladislav?

The rest MIDI and volume-knob are simply unsupported yet in the linux driver due to missing information from Creative.

Comment 2 Ladislav Slezák 2009-10-13 11:48:33 UTC

Um, the problem is that the DB update scripts do not work anymore with new kernels (due to missing modules.pcimap file).

I can only add it manually, but I need the PCI IDs and the driver name.

Takashi?

Comment 3 Takashi Iwai 2009-10-13 13:26:45 UTC

OK, I made a script to generate the compat pcimap.  Attached below.
Run like:
    make-pcimap /lib/modules/2.6.31-10-desktop/kernel/sound/pci

Comment 5 Anton vd haterd 2009-10-13 14:00:26 UTC

Thanks but I also needed MIDI support.

Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2009-10-13 14:02:15 UTC

MIDI isn't supported, too, due to lack of information from Creative.

Comment 7 Anton vd haterd 2009-10-13 14:19:05 UTC

I do not understand why that is .
Is this a better driver with midi support :

see manual selection : linux

Comment 8 Anton vd haterd 2009-10-13 14:20:50 UTC

sorry did not read this :

External I/O modules are not supported in this driver release.

Maybe it is better to look for another recording sound card.

Comment 9 Ladislav Slezák 2009-10-16 11:22:33 UTC

X-Fi has been added to yast2-sound-2.18.4.
