Creative Sound Blaster Z not working under Ubuntu 14.10












7














I have a Creative Sound Blaster Z and am running Ubuntu 14.10.



I have been searching for quite a while about the problem with the Creative Sound Blaster Z not working under the 64-bit Linux Kernel.



Could someone help me to a similar solution as in the solution for the Creative Recon3D card.

  • Since this question was bumped to the homepage i recommend testing with a newer kernel or Ubuntu release (14.10 is EOL anyway), Marc Bourgoin made a few comments in the bugzilla thread that kernel 4.4 or newer should work.

There is a way I known to get sound out of this card, I have one and tried it.



It is form here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147443&page=4



First of all, BEFORE turn the PC you need to plug the speaker or headphone to the front panel headphone socket.



Then open a terminal(ctrl+alt+t) and run one of the follow line of code ASAP after logining in.(Because it sometimes work, depend on luck)[enter your user password when sudo ask for it]



sudo kill `ps uax |grep pulseaudio | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'` ; sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel; sleep 3; sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel


OR



sudo kill `ps uax |grep pulseaudio | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'` ; sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel
//Then(This is not a command!)
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel


Sometimes, you will need to run it twice.



If you encounter only one side sound out, then try alsamixer or gnome-alsamixer in terminal, check the sound level.



PS:It is really a hassle to change plug every time I change OS, so I could only stick with Windows.
