I was hoping someone could possibly help me out with my sound card. I have a Soundblaster G6 running in 18.10. Everything seems to work except the microphone input. I realize Creative Labs doesn't officially support Linux, but since everything else is working. I was wondering if perhaps there was something I could do so that I could use my headset microphone while using it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Is there a driver for the Sound BlasterX AE-5?
How would i install these patches?
I have a Creative Soundblaster Z SB1570 (yeah I know big mistake) and I read somewhere that the 4.18 kernel will have better support for this card. My question is how can I make it work earlier using this kernel before the kernel update will be released officially to all 18.04 users? I read also that there is a patch for this card. Is this needed as well?
I am sorry if my question is too broad, but basically I need the steps that I need to follow in order to make the sound card work properly.
P.S.: I tried myself to install this specific kernel and I succeeded, but I didn't get the sound card to work properly.
EDIT:
The sound card is recognized, but there are only two ports enabled in the settings. The headphone jack is absent.
I connected an analog tape deck to my Soundblaster Audigy Analog Line-In input. I have a 2 to 1 cable connecting the Tape-OUT to the Audigy-LINE-IN.
I can't hear any sound when the Tape Deck plays. I have no problem when on Windows.
How do I get the tape deck to play on Ubuntu?
