Yes, on my desktop computer I have the same soundcard.  The sound module, ALSA does not support it... Cry

I've got a X-Fi Xtreme Audio as well and sound works just fine. This card actually isn't a real X-Fi but a relabeled Audigy SE I believe. The correct driver would be the snd-ca0106. Maybe try

modprobe snd-ca0106

and see if that works for you?

Hi.
Did you get sound?
I have the same card but I can't get it worked.
I tried snd_ctxfi and snd-ca0106 driver - no results.

I had the same problem.
I solved it by disabling the built in sound card in bios.
Most modern MB has built in sound.

After that  I have no problem  with my  SB X-fi sound card.

Seems like the system got confused by choosing from two sound cards.

Even when I disable the built-in sound sound card, my XFi Xtreme Audio doesn't even give me a beep.  With it disabled in the bios, PCLinuxOS still sees it...

In "Configure your Computer " -> Hardware-> sound -> :
My driver is :  CA106(SND_CA0106[ALSA])

Did you try to blacklist the driver for the onboard sound?

No...I have never have to do anything like that before.  I heard of people doing it.

Where would a person go to blacklist the on-board driver?

The only time I've done it is with direction from someone else. Wink But if you know which module may be causing a conflict, (I am not sure that is the problem, but it is worth a try), you can put the name of the module (driver) into '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist'. You, of course, have to be logged in as root to edit this file. You should also be able to just 'rmmod modulename' to do the same thing after booting. Then, you will probably still have to modprobe the correct driver module.
