Sound blaster X-fi Xtreme Audio for linux

[linux lover]

How do I get Ubuntu 9.10 to recognize X-fi Xtreme Audio?

According to http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Creative_Labs the emu20k1 is Supported on version 1.0.21 EAX and Advanced sound options like crystalizer not available.

Have you downloaded all the updates for Ubuntu 9.10?

What do you get when you run lspci?

You could always give Fedora12 live a try and see if it works on Fedora which is newer than Ubuntu.

Good luck

Or use integrated audio?

Just to throw some confusion into the mix:

X-Fi Xtreme Audio

The entry-level model of the X-Fi series, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, does not actually have the EMU20K1 chip but is a re-branded Audigy SE, using the same family of chips (CA0106-WBTLF), and even the same drivers.[9] Thus, not only is all of the X-Fi–related processing performed in software, but it also lacks basic hardware acceleration just like the SB Live! 24-bit, the Audigy SE and other budget Soundblaster models. The X-Fi Xtreme Audio does not use the same drivers as the rest of the X-Fi family, some games do not recognize it as being "X-Fi capable hardware", and the device's hardware profile resembles that of older Live! and Audigy cards.

That sux, Audigy SE = newer integrated audio.
