no rear speakers sound from new soundblaster
I just got a new soundblaster digital 4.1 for christmas and can only get sound from the front 2 speakers and the bass, nothing from the rear speakers. I have used alsamixer to try and adjust or unmute different channels without any success. I have seen a handfull of different posts about this problem, but haven't found anything helpfull. I've never attempted to install or configure a sound card beyond what yast pretty much does for me, so newbie-ish help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running SuSE 8.1 with alsa 0.9.0rc3
If alsa is unable to correctly use the rear speakers, would the closed source and overpriced OSS sound drivers work better?
Thanks
Steve

still no luck
I've tried everything possible, I've even tried the oss drivers, and they have no better luck at the rear speakers than alsa did. This lack of functionality has had me talking of moving back to a windows only machine.
Please, if somebody has any suggestions, however small, send them this way. Snap me out of that "can't handle linux" mentality. Please

Why did you double post this, you clearly have the same question going with replies in the Linux - General section. You clearly have enough posts to show you should know its against the rules.
