Hey, I have a Sound Blaster Live! card connected to 7.1 amp via optical coax cable. When I watch DVDs or anything with xine I get nice, rich full surround sound. However, when I watch tv shows recorded within mythtv there is no output from LS or RS. The front , center and rear channels all output. I have attempted to duplicate the rear channels using ttable and output the duplicated sound in the side channels. However, I am unable to produce any sound using route and dmix. Is this possible? I have tried tinkered with some of the below configuration. Only digital-hw on it's own produces sound. pcm.digital-hw { type hw card Live device 2 } pcm.upmix { type route slave.digital-hw # I have tried setting to this #to digital-hw and dmix71 and neither produces no sound. slave.channels 8 ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.2.2 1 ttable.3.3 1 ttable.4.4 1 ttable.5.5 1 ttable.2.6 1 ttable.3.7 1 } pcm.dmix71 { type dmix ipc_key 1024 slave { pcm digital-hw rate 48000 channels 6 period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_time 0 buffer_size 1024 # Increasing this simply produces # a studdering du-du-du-du-du sound. } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
