5.1 Speaker/soudcard setup but only stereo sound
What do I have to do to get my souncard to use 4 speakers and the subwoofer when playing mp3s in xmms. And 5.1 sound in xine ( haven't installed it jet but asking anyway :) ) I Have a CMI8738 sound card and I'm using vector linux (Slackware compatible) At the moment I'm getting stereo sound from my 2 front speakers when using xmms.

I'm having the same problem, im not getting any sound from my sub or its 4 speakers but i am getting sound from the 2 on my monitor. :\

Any help on this would be much appreciated...

after crawling the web I found some solution for me.
I have Creative SBLive 7.1 24 bit SoundCard
And Slackware 10.2 This is the solution I found: create in your home dir file .asoundrc with text in it: ######################################################### #This is the standard setting (see: "!default") #This profile, the default loaded, upmixes stereo sound to 5.1. pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "surround51" slave.channels 6 route_policy duplicate } ######################################################## #This is the normal spdif output profile (optical, toslink). pcm.!spdif { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,1" } ####################################################### #This is what one could call the "factory default setting", in other words, it only plays the actual channels. so if you fx want to watch a 5.1 movie, on the analog output, this is the option you want. pcm.analog { type plug slave analog_slave; } pcm_slave.analog_slave { pcm surround51; format S32_LE; } then open xmms. choose alsa plugin to output. for mplayer to play 5.1 try this: mplayer -ao alsa movie-file.avi I trully hope it will help ya. Enjoy.:) |
