Nforce4 sound problem


Hello

I have recently installed Ubuntu after a short flashback to XP and now I dont get the surround to work. I use Ubuntu 5.10 with a Shuttle SN25P. Im not allowed to post URLs so just search for SN25P at google and press Im feeling lucky. The speakers work good in Windows.

When I type speaker-test -c 6 I get alot of these messages:
Code:
Buffer size range from 8 to 10920
Period size range from 4 to 5460
Periods = 4
Buffer time size 2525
To choose buffer_size = 10920
To choose period_size = 2730
was set period_size = 2732
was set buffer_size = 10920
Unable to set sw params for playback: Invalid argument
Setting of swparams failed: Invalid argument
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
lsmod | grep snd shows:

Do you have basic sound (left and right?) I think you will need to hand off sound control to alsa (ubuntu uses esd by default), which should be somewhere in the sound set-up menu.
Then, open a terminal and run $sudo alsamixer and un-mute the surround channels.
after doing that run the command:
$sudo alsactl store
