alsa and 4 speaker system
How can I get my surround to work with alsa? (2.6.0 kernel version plus current libs)
Right now, I can only get 2 speakers working, I have surround, and it doens't want to work. I unmuted all channels, played with all the sound levels and gotten nothing, not even a peep out of the back-r/l speakers. I really don't want to go back with emu10k1 drivers from opensource.creative.com. They did the job, but alsa is sometimes said to be very nice. Sound card: SB audigy gamer Speakers: Altec Lansing 4 pc + sub System: Slackware 9.1 2.6.0 vexer |
SO i was fooling around with alsamixer, got my surround working once, changed something, sound stopped working again.
What else is that, if I am not playing music, emu10k1 driver is not loaded in alsamixer. So the controlers for my speakers disappear. Odd? Indeed, but as soon as I open xmms and hit play, poof, emu10k1 is back in the list. Does ANYONE have a clue to how I can get permanent surround? -vexer ANY ideas are welcome... And I am not afraid of having more then 1 thread. |
