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.\r\n\r\nCurrently, Creative Labs have not put out a proper Linux driver for any ca0132... the current support for ca0132 sound cards comes from porting their official Google Chromebook Pixle drivers to ALSA & the Linux Kernel.\r\n\r\nhere's my alsa-info:\r\nhttp://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=8aefb0663de38f0e3e2f1df4facd257aaebbb3bc\r\n\r\nI hope this helps. 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. :)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/comments/146379134","html_url":"https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/221#issuecomment-146379134","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/221","id":146379134,"user":{"login":"jadbox","id":595843,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/595843?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox","html_url":"https://github.com/jadbox","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jadbox/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-08T00:27:48Z","updated_at":"2015-10-08T00:27:48Z","body":"Sound Blaster Z support is one of my last remaining wishes for Debian/Linux.
