Hi, I am seeking feedback in regards to issues with a ExpressCard/54 audio card (http://www.notebookreview.com/notebookreview/creative-soundblaster-x-fi-xtreme-audio-for-notebook-review/) under Linux (same card has been working fine in Win 7). After recently having a conversation on alsa-devel about it, it was decided it seems to be a PCI issue. The "devices" in question.... 05:00.0 PCI bridge: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG PCI to PCIe Bridge (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Physical Slot: 3 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=05, secondary=06, subordinate=0c, sec-latency=36 Memory behind bridge: f4300000-f43fffff Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable- Count=1/16 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [80] Subsystem: Creative Labs Device 0040 Capabilities: [90] Express PCI-Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting 06:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG Subsystem: Creative Labs SB1040 Flags: bus master, fast Back2Back, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19 Memory at f4300000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 3 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel dmesg output... http://pastebin.com/66UE659K and comments in regard to it... http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2015-February/088237.html > > [ 2619.199658] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie04: Card not present on Slot(3) > [ 2619.199666] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie04: slot(3): Link Down event > [ 2619.199674] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie04: Link Down event ignored on > slot(3): already powering off > [ 2619.199911] pci_bus 0000:06: busn_res: [bus 06-0c] is released > [ 2620.757928] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie04: Card present on Slot(3) > [ 2620.767950] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie04: slot(3): Link Up event > [ 2620.767985] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie04: Link Up event ignored on > slot(3): already powering on pciehp reacted power off and on here, and... > [ 2620.876160] pci 0000:05:00.0: [1102:7006] type 01 class 0x060400 > [ 2620.876426] pci 0000:05:00.0: supports D1 D2 > [ 2620.876719] pci 0000:05:00.0: bridge configuration invalid ([bus > 00-00]), reconfiguring > [ 2620.876928] pci_bus 0000:06: busn_res: can not insert [bus 06-ff] > under [bus 05-0c] (conflicts with (null) [bus 05-0c]) .... and something failed here for the PCI bridge device. > [ 2620.876967] pci 0000:06:00.0: [1102:0009] type 00 class 0x040300 > [ 2620.877013] pci 0000:06:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0x00000000-0x00003fff] > [ 2620.877203] pci 0000:06:00.0: supports D1 D2 > [ 2620.877443] pci 0000:05:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 06-ff] > [ 2620.877462] pci 0000:05:00.0: bridge window [io 0x0000-0x0fff] > [ 2620.877474] pci 0000:05:00.0: bridge window [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] > [ 2620.877492] pci 0000:05:00.0: bridge window [mem > 0x00000000-0x000fffff 64bit pref] > [ 2620.877500] pci_bus 0000:06: busn_res: [bus 06-ff] end is updated to 06 > [ 2620.877559] pci 0000:05:00.0: BAR 14: assigned [mem > 0xf4300000-0xf43fffff] > [ 2620.877568] pci 0000:05:00.0: BAR 15: assigned [mem > 0xf4000000-0xf40fffff 64bit pref] > [ 2620.877574] pci 0000:05:00.0: BAR 13: assigned [io 0x2000-0x2fff] > [ 2620.877582] pci 0000:06:00.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0xf4300000-0xf4303fff] > [ 2620.877595] pci 0000:05:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 06] > [ 2620.877603] pci 0000:05:00.0: bridge window [io 0x2000-0x2fff] > [ 2620.877618] pci 0000:05:00.0: bridge window [mem 0xf4300000-0xf43fffff] > [ 2620.877630] pci 0000:05:00.0: bridge window [mem > 0xf4000000-0xf40fffff 64bit pref] > [ 2620.877647] pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: PCI bridge to [bus 05-0c] > [ 2620.877655] pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: bridge window [io 0x2000-0x2fff] > [ 2620.877667] pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: bridge window [mem > 0xf4300000-0xf7efffff] > [ 2620.877677] pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: bridge window [mem > 0xf4000000-0xf40fffff 64bit pref] > [ 2620.877990] pci 0000:05:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003) > [ 2620.878013] snd_hda_intel 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) > [ 2620.882747] azx_single_wait_for_response: 108 callbacks suppressed > [ 2620.882753] snd_hda_intel 0000:06:00.0: Codec #1 probe error; > disabling it... > [ 2620.887052] snd_hda_intel 0000:06:00.0: no AFG or MFG node found > [ 2620.887058] snd_hda_intel 0000:06:00.0: no codecs initialized I've tried many kernels from 2.6 to 3.18 with similar results.
