Hi, I have an Audigy 2 NX for playing nice sound on my Laptop (Intel HDA realy sucks). I've managed to get stereo and fake-5.1 (copy stereo signal to all 6 channels through the duplicate route) working. But there are still some issues, I hope you can help with: 1) there is no master volume, alsamixer shows 4 "Master" bars, but they change only one output each. on my Audigy 4 (nonpro - yes, it works) I have "Master" which controlls all the outputs, and "PCM {Center|Front| LFE}" for the individual outputs. it there any chance to get this working with the 2 NX? 2) the hardware controls for volume, mic, etc does not work. the only interesting control would be the volume, but not as interesting as the master volume. 3) this is not an issue (because untested) but a question: I've set up my vlc to output to the fake5.1, because I usually use vlc for wathing tv, which is stereo. when I would like to watch a DVD with 5.1 sound, would I have to switch to the 'real' device, or is there some posibility to configure the fake one to duplicate the first 2 channels only if the input has less than 6 (or 4) channels? TIA Evgeni Golov PS: here is my /etc/asound.conf: pcm.nx51 { type plug slave.pcm "hw:2,0" slave.channels 6 route_policy duplicate } -- ^^^ | Evgeni -SargentD- Golov (sargentd@xxxxxxxxxxxx) d(O_o)b | PGP-Key-ID: 0xAC15B50C >-|-< | WWW: http://www.die-welt.net ICQ: 54116744 / \ | IRC: #sod @ irc.german-freakz.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
