Also of note was several + PulseAudio updates. However, I then proceeded to install the Nvidia 180.18 drivers over my 177.x ones, which required a system reboot. Upon rebooting, I noticed my sound had gone. I did some quick searching around and some people had reporting something similar with the latest kernel. I checked in system->hardware drivers, and my Creative X-Fi 1.18 drivers which I had installed using ./configure, make, make install were no longer listed I rebooted again, this time, when the 10-second countdown before actually initialising linux, I pressed escape and chose to boot the 2.6.27-9 kernel I was previously using. Low and behold, my sound card was working again, and the drivers were listed in the hardware drivers. When I was in the -11 kernel, I only ran this command: st...@ubuntu:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** st...@ubuntu:~$ I forgot to run uname -a however, now I ran: now: st...@ubuntu:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: XFi [Creative X-Fi], device 0: X-Fi 20k1 [WaveOut/WaveIn] Subdevices: 7/8 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 Subdevice #3: subdevice #3 Subdevice #4: subdevice #4 Subdevice #5: subdevice #5 Subdevice #6: subdevice #6 Subdevice #7: subdevice #7 st...@ubuntu:~$ uname -a Linux ubuntu 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.10 64bit, AMD x-2 3800 socket939, 2GB DDR RAM, 8800GT. ** Tags added: card creative sound x-fi -- Creative X-Fi card not found after installing recommended kernel 2.6.27-11 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322564 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
