I have a Abit NF7-S v2 mobo,nforce2 chipset,Athlon XP 2200+,asus fx5200 videocard,soundcard onbord.
My problem is that cannot use all 5.1 output of sound card,only 2channel.
I had to google to find how to setup my sound drivers to get mine working. Might want to google your card and find how someone set it up on their system.
I have try to set from alsamixer but nothing,dont have setting for rear output.
I have instal realtek ALC650F driver but nothing.only 2 channel work
and i find some nforce driver for sound,network card but cannot install i got error.
the alsa driver does have a setting for rear sound, it's just off the screen when you first load up alsamixer. so hit your right arrow key (->) a few times to get over to it.
I post almost the same question a couple of week ago and got no answer, i have a Realtek onbard sound (in linux ALC850) but alsamixer is using NVidia CK804 (i'm new to linux so i still didn't figure that out) but what Hern_28 is true, you have to configure your sound manually editing some files
