Sourround sound not working on Linux Mint 17.1
Hello
I have linux mint 17.1 cinnamon installed on my computer, but the surround sound is not working (I only get stereo from two speakers) When I run lspci I can see that my card is called C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8738/CMI8768 PCI Audio (rev 10) there is another embeded card that came with my computer called [AMD/ATI] Trinity HDMI Audio Controller but I have my speakers hooked up to the first one and I have selected this card in the "output device" option on the lower right hand side of the screen, and I have selected the sound setting "analgog 4.0 surround". My surround sound used to work when I had windows xp and xubuntu installed on an older computer with the same surround sound card attached. So I can't understand why it is not working now. Can anyone help me with this? when I run aplay -l I get: aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 0: CMI8738 [C-Media PCI DAC/ADC] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 1: CMI8738 [C-Media PCI 2nd DAC] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 2: CMI8738 [C-Media PCI IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 inxi -Fzx System: Host: rene-linuxmint Kernel: 3.13.0-37-generic x86_64 (64 bit, gcc: 4.8.2) Desktop: Gnome Distro: Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca Machine: System: Gigabyte product: N/A Mobo: Gigabyte model: F2A58M-DS2H version: x.x Bios: American Megatrends version: F1 date: 04/28/2014 CPU: Dual core AMD A4-4000 APU with Radeon HD Graphics (-MCP-) cache: 2048 KB flags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 sse4a ssse3 svm) bmips: 11977.2 Clock Speeds: 1: 1400.00 MHz 2: 1400.00 MHz Graphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7480D] bus-ID: 00:01.0 X.Org: 1.15.1 drivers: ati,radeon (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1600x900@60.0hz GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on AMD ARUBA GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 10.1.3 Direct Rendering: Yes Audio: Card-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Trinity HDMI Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 00:01.1 Card-2: C-Media CMI8738/CMI8768 PCI Audio driver: snd_cmipci port: d000 bus-ID: 03:06.0 Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ver: k3.13.0-37-generic Network: Card-1: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter driver: ath9k bus-ID: 02:00.0 IF: wlan0 state: up mac: <filter> Card-2: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller driver: r8169 ver: 2.3LK-NAPI port: e000 bus-ID: 01:00.0 IF: eth0 state: down mac: <filter> Drives: HDD Total Size: 820.2GB (35.7% used) 1: id: /dev/sda model: WDC_WD3200AVCS size: 320.1GB 2: USB id: /dev/sdc model: MQ01ABD050 size: 500.1GB Partition: ID: / size: 290G used: 21G (8%) fs: ext4 RAID: No RAID devices detected - /proc/mdstat and md_mod kernel raid module present Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 0.4C mobo: N/A gpu: -3.0 Fan Speeds (in rpm): cpu: N/A Info: Processes: 169 Uptime: 4:07 Memory: 1209.9/3068.3MB Runlevel: 2 Gcc sys: 4.8.2 Client: Shell inxi: 1.8.4 aplay -L default Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) pulse PulseAudio Sound Server hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0 HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output dmix:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3 HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0 Direct sample mixing device dsnoop:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3 HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0 Direct sample snooping device hw:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3 HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0 Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3 HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0 Hardware device with all software conversions sysdefault:CARD=CMI8738 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC Default Audio Device front:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC Front speakers rear:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI 2nd DAC Rear speakers surround40:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers iec958:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output dmix:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC Direct sample mixing device dmix:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=1 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI 2nd DAC Direct sample mixing device dmix:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=2 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI IEC958 Direct sample mixing device dsnoop:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC Direct sample snooping device dsnoop:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=1 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI 2nd DAC Direct sample snooping device dsnoop:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=2 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI IEC958 Direct sample snooping device hw:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC Direct hardware device without any conversions hw:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=1 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI 2nd DAC Direct hardware device without any conversions hw:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=2 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI IEC958 Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC Hardware device with all software conversions plughw:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=1 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI 2nd DAC Hardware device with all software conversions plughw:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=2 C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI IEC958 Hardware device with all software conversions |
