LinuxQuestions.org - sound card in mandrake

I have a similiar problem. I also have a sound blaster audigy which mandrake 9.2 (fivestar) configured allright . I can hear sound and xmms doesn't crash BUT i don't get any sound from the center speaker !! When i play dvd's (i've tried almost any player from mplayer to xine and even totem ) voice is supposed 2 come out from the center speaker. Instead i get music and sound effects from all the other speaker , but nothing from the center one ! I've tried kmix but there is no slider for rear nor center nor front speakers!

Here is my dmseg :

I went to mandrake control center run harddrake and i see my sound seems detected fine (emuk10k2 sound blaster audigy etc)! Any ideas?Also when i ran alsamixer i get this error :

"
[root@localhost george]# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
"

Should i ran alsaconf?Any ideas?

PS I have opened a whle ago a thread here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=131954
