6 channels audio
 

I always see that an i810 sound card works, and I have it working on my Slackware 10, but why do I always see that?


i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.
i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode.


If it supports 6 channels, why it default put the sound card into 2 channels mode, can I change that?

Is it possible to have a 5.1 sound using an Intel sound card?
I would love to have my 5.1 speakers playing all in my Linux box.


Some idea?

Very thanks all.
