Getting 5.1
I have Mandrivia Linux 2006 (Free Edition) and XP. I recently purchased a Trust (SC-5200) 5.1 Surround Sound Card, it had front, rear and centre connections, I plugged stereo speakers into each. Of course the drivers disk was for windows as XP didn't reconise it, but even after installing the drivers only front worked, so I got bored of it and restarted into Linux. Which automatically without any questions or anything had the card working, well front and rear that is but centre still doesn't work, and I don't know to get it to work, there's nothing about it in configure your deskop (KDE Control Centre) or Configure your computer (Mandrivia Control Centre). Can anyone help please?

I believe that Mandriva uses ALSA in recent editions, so try firing up a root terminal and typing
Code:
alsaconf |
Thanks for the help, but when I try this it dosen't reconise the command:
Code:
[root@robert rfdparker2002]# alsaconf |
try su - to login as root, assuming it's env and more importantly it's path
|
Thanks but I already had done su thats why it says "root@robert...". Sorry, but this may sound a bit stupid, but I'm quite new to linux, (well I have used it about 5 years ago, but kept stopping, but now finally, it is really my primary OS) what do you mean by "...assuming it's env and more importantly it's path"?

This may or may not work - it depends on whether you have the program installed. It's not a core part of ALSA, and the actual sound-making bits work fine without it. In Debian, it was in a package called alsa-tools (or possibly alsa-utils); I'm not sure what the package system is in Mandriva, but if you can try and find some package along these lines that might help. |
yeah sorry i should have said
Code:
