Alsa drivers, no surround
 

Does anyone know how to get surround in alsa?

I configured everything by following this site:

http://linuxtipps.sourceforge.net/show.php/en/faq/2.htm

I've played with the alsamixer with out any results.

I have a SB Audigy Gamer, so I'm using the emu10k1 driver. My speakers are Altec 4piece sat. with sub. My modules.conf section look like this (running slack 9, 2.4.21):

----
# Sound support
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

LSMOD looks like this:

PS: Bump

for me, i used gnome-alsamixer and check off surround in the options and it worked for me

remember to use:
alsactl store

to store the settings
