If Creative is willing to help out, it may not end up being necessary to do all the 8051 disassembly stuff, but, it's probably good to get the information we've gathered so far out there even if it isn't needed for anything immediately.Īlrighty, with that out of the way, getting to work on - Full audio output support, inconsistent microphone input support.

Then, doing ZxR stuff, and after that I guess I will get back into the mic issue. That way, more people can help out with the disassembly if they'd like to. Then, I think I'll take 's suggestion and make a repository of my ca0132 tools, and the documentation on the 8051 that has written along with the stuff I've added. First thing to do is separate the AE-5 stuff into patches. So, I guess I should regroup and plan this out. I'm kind of scattered all over the place now, from rushing to get sound out of the ZxR and AE-5.

This is my first time really programming anything, so I'm still learning how to deal better with feedback, and should probably learn how to not let more negative comments bother me. What kind of got me frantic about the mic stuff was a guy on Reddit who private messaged me about the AE-5 and wasn't too happy when I told him the mic didn't work. I don't mind bug reports, and it's good to get them. Okay, it's good to hear people are fine with submitting in it's current form, then moving onto the mic and ZxR stuff after that. You can see the original Linux kernel bug report here from over two years ago:

I made this comment thread to hopefully get Valve to tell Creative to do something about their lack of Linux/SteamOS support and hopefully fix it but haven't had much luck yet sadly. if you think you can do something with the ctefx.bin and ctspeq.bin files to make them load under a 64bit kernel that would be GREATLY appreciated. I kinda wish I picked up coding but I never found the time I guess. I'm not sure how that circumvents the 64bit kernel firmware loading issue but it does. It's included in many Linux distributions and can even be found I think with a quick Google search but no matter where I put the files they never load in 64bit and require that rmmod and modprobe terminal command to try and get working. The issue seems to be the 64bit kernel firmware loader or the firmware files themselves aren't 64bit compatible. Tested with Linux Mint, Manjaro and Ubuntu Mate. I can try installing it sure, but the latest 64bit kernel v4.2.0 has been giving me the same grief as whatever 64bit kernel v3.x that alchemist_beta used. Heyyo,, I don't think Brewmaster was out in when I made this topic. Please let me know if there's anything further I can try to help resolve this issue and hopefully get SteamOS working with the ca0132 based sound cards for all users.

the current support for ca0132 sound cards comes from porting their official Google Chromebook Pixle drivers to ALSA & the Linux Kernel.

I'm unsure if this is kernel related (since ca0132 workaround has worked in kernel 3.10+ when I've tested it) or something that SteamOS changes compared to other Linux distros.Ĭurrently, Creative Labs have not put out a proper Linux driver for any ca0132. Sudo kill ps uax |grep pulseaudio | grep -v grep | awk '' sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel sleep 3 sudo modprobe snd-hda-intelĪnd neither worked. I tried the fixes that worked when using Arch Linux or Ubuntu of editing the /etc/rc.local and adding in. I'm running SteamOS with Alchemist_beta fully updated. My Creative Labs Sound Blaster Recon 3D (ca0132, same DSP as the Sound Blaster Z) can't output sound or record from my microphone.
