[Bug 582955] [NEW] Sound Blaster 5.1VX produces only iritating white noise

[boskicinek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source

This sound card uses CA0106 alsa module and on 9.10 as well as on 10.04 it produces highly disturbed sound (almost white noise, but not random). More on this topic can be found here:

Possible fix can be found here:

I can't give more details right now, because that bug affects my friend's machine, so I don't have access to it right now.
I guess all required info can be found here: http://guide.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6947135&postcount=1 (except the kernel version, because it's still present on 2.6.32-22-generic).

But if it's really needed, I will provide more info.
