Hi. I have a new Dell Inspiron and I am running Ubuntu Studio 9.10, 64bit. I cannot play any sound at all from the computer using Ubuntu. The dual-booted Windows 7 will play music files and all other sounds without any trouble. I've been working through troubleshooting procedures and searching the web but I am not sure I am understanding the situation correctly or which direction I should head. Your advice would be much appreciated. The sound card is a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio. My web searching seems to indicate that the card is not supported by ALSA. However, it's not entirely clear to me because X-Fi in general is supported. Searching the web shows that some people have been able to make the card work under Ubuntu but their solutions haven't worked for me. I have followed the troubleshooting steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Basic%20Troubleshooting%20Steps. The codec for the soundcard is Creative CA0110-IBG which does not appear in the ALSA-Configuration.txt for my ALSA version, 1.0.20 (http://tinyurl.com/yzmu498). Since I didn't find what the correct configuration for my card is, I did not alter the existing configuration. Also, the graphics card is listed as an audio device (ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]). If I select this card for sound output in the sound preferences control, there is still no audio output. Is this a situation in which I will need to replace the sound card? Is there an alternate driver/configuration I should try for the X-Fi Xtreme Audio? Is there a different set of troubleshooting steps I should work through? Thanks for your help. Any guidance will be very helpful.
