Hi,

Could someone recommend good audio setup test program for 5.1 cards? I have SB Audigy 2 and Speed-Link Medusa 5.1 Surround Headset and I would like to get coherent test environment for them.

A DVD has 5.1 sound files.

Best testing stuff I was able to found was:
ftp://ling.lll.hawaii.edu/pub/greg/S...-testfiles.tgz

Run this on loop:

Code:

aplay -Dsurround51 chan-id.wav

Now you're able to check and adjust volume levels for each channel.

Good tip Jamo. Rock on.

Code:

speaker-test -c6 -D plug:surround51

And one that doesn't require anything to be downloaded! But I'm still downloading those files, playing with sound is fun
