Created attachment 211301 [details]
Output of /usr/sbin/alsa_info.sh (version 1.1.0)

Creative Labs Sound Blaster ZxR, worked (briefly) under Windows 10 (before the driver crashed and W10 ate the driver install).  Hardware is assumed to be functional.  No change in audio output connections since device was functioning.

All audio output happens through line-out and headphone jacks (headphones are plugged into the Creative Labs headphone/mic doodad, headphone connection worked under W10; speakers are plugged into analog line out, speakers worked under W10).  Would test S/PDIF / ToSlink, but have no devices to test with.

Intel HDA driver and CA0132 codec/DSP driver are compiled as modules.

Relevant kernel output follows:

Output of alsa_info.sh is attached.

Please let me know if you require any more information, or output from a different (newer? (version 1.1.0 is the version of my alsa-utils/libs/etc, so I thought that would be more helpful)) version of alsa_info.sh, or anything that sysfs et al might provide that isn't here.

Do your system have other problem since it is strange that no sound card found, your sound were detected around 23 seconds? 

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 0), but by uid 1000! (This could e g happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.)

As far as I know, I don't have any other issues with hardware or my Linux kernel's ability to detect hardware.  It *is* odd that the detection of the CA0132 comes a bit late (just about the last hardware device to be detected).

Since alsa_info.sh was in /usr/sbin/, I ran it as root via su (meaning the environment from UID 1000 was preserved).  I *shouldn't* have any UID 0 process connecting to my PulseAudio daemon, but it's not impossible.  I just hope it isn't happening (beyond possibly alsa_info.sh, given that I ran it as UID 0 with UID 1000's environment).

No success yet with sound_hda_intel.probe_mask=1, will keep trying.

Yep, and I assume that's because the codec driver is trying to probe/instantiate both slots for the ca0132.  I'm sure it's non-ideal, but don't know if it's problematic enough to be causing my issues.  Have set sound_hda_intel.probe_mask=1 by removing devices, unloading the sound_hda_* modules, reloading snd_hda_intel with probe_mask=1, and then sending a '1\n' to /sys/bus/pci/rescan.  DSP firmware only gets loaded once, but no sound (yet).  Haven't tried probe_mask=2, nor have I tried passing snd_hda_intel.probe_mask=2 in as a kernel commandline option (will do next boot).
Comment 8 Raymond 2016-04-02 01:38:12 UTC 
Did yoiu specify imdex simce you have three hda controllers ?
Comment 9 Takashi Iwai 2016-04-05 13:15:45 UTC 
Interesting that the board has two codecs.  How many physical I/Os does the Creative sound board have?

In anyway, the Creative board is the third entry, and the codecs are found on address 1 and 2.  So you'll need to pass probe_mask=,,2 or probe_mask=-1,-1,2  (where 2 mean the address 1; for address 2, use 4 instead of 2).

Hi Takashi-
    Sorry for not responding sooner.  I tried booting with snd_hda_intel.probe_mask=,,2, and it still doesn't seem to work.  In answer to your question, the ZxR has just two channels of analog audio out, but has a headphone and speaker port.  I'm *guessing* you can't send two channels to the headphone port and two other channels to the speaker port simultaneously, but I could be wrong.  With the daughterboard attached (seems to just house analog logic and extra ports), you can run two channels of line-in-level analog audio into the card.  The main card features a headphone jack which I *believe* is single-channel, although I'm not 100% sure there either.  Finally, the daughtercard adds a ToSlink output and a ToSlink input for digital audio I/O.

    Should I try booting with snd_hda_intel.probe_mask=,,4?

        -Robin K.

Also, apologies for the dmesg in the most recent alsa-info.sh output lacking anything useful about snd_hda_intel/patch_ca0132.  The kernel I'm running tends to spam dmesg with '[drm] rcu slot is busy' and anything that showed up at first boot has long been pushed off the ring buffer.

probe_mask=,,4 seems to have the same issue.  Should I go for broke and try probe_mask=,,8?

do it mean jack detection does not work since none of those jacks in your alsa-info return TRUE

Works with Conrad McAdams' patchset[1] (and the AE-5 commits[2] in Takashi Iwai's sound.git repo[3], which I only merged in to get the ZxR patchset (which included modifications to the AE-5 additions) to apply cleanly), since merged[4] into tawai's sound.git[3] and presumably (soon-to-be-)queued for inclusion in the upstream kernel.
