After many years it appears as though the X-Fi XtremeMusic and Ubuntu play nicely together. However, you will need to make a few slight modifications if you want to use a 3.5mm mic plugged into it with Ubuntu.
1. Open Terminal, type alsamixer, and press enter.
2. alsamixer will open in the terminal. Use your arrow keys to move over to "Digit-IO". Press the "M" key and you should hear sound from your mic. Now arrow left to "Mic" and hold the down arrow key until the levels go to 0.
3. Press F4 and make sure only the "Mic" column has the red Capture text under it. If other ones do, press the space bar to unselect them. Arrow over to PCM and hold the down arrow key to set the levels to 0.
Now your microphone should work with any program for voice communication without hearing yourself in the headset. If it still isn't working, mess around with the playback screen of alsamixer (press F4).
