Fedora 13 & Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Flexijack

[equivocal]

Hello,

I've been trawling the webs and trying to find information on how to configure the flexijack on the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro card to allow microphone input in Fedora 13 64-bit. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Both the Creative released drivers 1.00 and 1.18 (beta) will not install for me, but I don't think this is the problem. Not sure though.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Norman

have you run pavucontrol or gnome-volume-control and selected the appropriate input device and channel?

I only have one device displayed, which is SB X-Fi Analog Stereo as my Input. What seems to be happening is that the volume monitor bar in pavucontrol in both input and output seem to mirror each other, even when the microphone is unplugged. This means that none of the four jacks on my sound card are valid inputs at all.

yeah, that sounds like probably a driver bug...you could temporarily disable PA and see if ALSA behaves the same way, though, just in case it's PA handling it wrong somehow. Either way, file a bug, against ALSA or PA as appropriate.
