Lirc with alsa_usb

Hi,
I’ve tried to use remote control from Creative Sound Blaster X-fi 5.1 sound card which I suppose needs alsa_usb driver compiled into lirc. Is there a reason that this driver is not within standard armv7-remote-osmc package?

Regards,

See my post here, if you haven’t already :wink:

I think this is built in driver:
http://www.lirc.org/html/alsa-usb_driver.html
Not sure if available in 0.9.0.

Anyway I give up on this device because I can’t get 5.1 audio working on it. So won’t use ir receiver either.

Thanks for answer.

Hi,
It look like the soundcard is supporting 5.1 channels now on OSMC, but i cannot get the remote to work I have the lirc.conf for the remote, i’ve added it to /etc/lirc folder.
Any way i can make this work? Will install lirc from sources work or mess with OSMC?
