Creative has linux X-Fi drivers out, finally

[TheGamerZ]

Didn't see this posted; thought it would be useful to some (myself included).

The main reason I hadn't adopted Ubuntu for every day use was the lack of support for my Creative X-Fi soundcard.

Well, creative has finally answered some prayers and released drivers for linux (working under Ubuntu for me)

They're dated from April 08, but I just came across them.

Enjoy

Your a couple moths late on that. Those drivers are complete junk.

You can very easily get the x-fi working with OSSv4 but i can tell you it sounds like ass. (My alc888 onboard sounds way better)

It may get better but i wouldnt expect it to be anytime soon.

plus that driver doesn't work for X-Fi Extreme Audio cards which has Audigy chips on it.

Same here for me.

Of course not, the xtreme audio has different drivers in windows too.

After all the xtreme audio is nothing more than a rebadged sudigy SE not a real x-fi chip.
