x-fi FATAL1TY PRO mic issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all,

from what i read, this card share the line-in in with the mic-in.

Anyway, with Debian Wheezy and

Linux version 3.17.4-angelo (root@jerusalem) (gcc version 4.9.1 (Debian 4.9.1-19) )

I cannot have mic capture working, until i toggle it off and on again.


My hardware:

05:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi
         Subsystem: Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeGamer FATAL1TY PRO
         Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
         Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
         Latency: 32 (1000ns min, 1250ns max)
         Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18
         Region 0: I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
         Region 1: Memory at f4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M]
         Region 3: Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M]
         Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
                 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)
                 Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-
         Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
                 Address: 0000000000000000  Data: 0000
         Kernel driver in use: snd_ctxfi

Once alsa starts, i cannot record anything from the MIC input until i don't issue a "toggle" (on->off->back to on) on the Mic channel.

My workaround actually is :

amixer set 'Mic',0 capture toggle
amixer set 'Mic',0 capture toggle

Home in a suggestion for a better solution.

Best regards
Angelo
