Microphone not working on Creative Labs EMU20k2 [X-Fi Titani
Microphone not working on Creative Labs EMU20k2 [X-Fi Titani
Hi all,
I have a dual boot Windows 7 / Debian Wheezy. My sound card device is a Creative Labs EMU20k2 [X-Fi Titanium Series]. Sound works well, the microphone works under Windows, but I cannot manage to make it work under Linux. I have followed many helpfull threads, but it still does not work. Of course, I checked alsamixer, AudioMixer and the PulseAudio Volume Controller to check that the microphone is active everywhere, not muted, with appropriate volume.
Here is my alsa-info : https://pastebin.com/xWH25vNV
Any idea please ?

Perhaps, it is need to tweak PulseAudio and set right set-default-sink output and set-default-source input in /etc/pulse/default.pa.
Its can be got by command "pactl list". Far example, I use usb C-Media sound card and my settings are

Re: Microphone not working on Creative Labs EMU20k2 [X-Fi Ti
lalebarde, try also create ~/.asoundrc for pulseaudio:
and re-login.
Peter.
Code: Select all
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}

Re: Microphone not working on Creative Labs EMU20k2 [X-Fi Ti
I don't know. Run alsamixer in xterm, select your sound card and make sure that the microphone is unmuted.
Or use pavucontrol. For the sound settings saving and restoring I use alsactl.

Re: Microphone not working on Creative Labs EMU20k2 [X-Fi Ti
Unfortunately, I have already tried all of that. Thanks anyway. I think I am going to buy another sound card.
Re: Microphone not working on Creative Labs EMU20k2 [X-Fi Ti

Here is .asoundrc variant for direct card pointing:
This is variant for jackd:
And what sound card are you using? It would be interestingly to see "cat /proc/asound/cards" output.
