I just subscribed so I apologize for not threading the email properly. Michael, this is how I set up my .asoundrc. Note that I also fiddled around with the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file to get it to show up as default / card 0. It produces the 5.1 sound properly using a 6 channel test wave file. I had to redirect the channels to get them routing properly. In order to control the volumes individually, I think you need to use the softvol plugin: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Softvol ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pcm.snd_card { type hw card 0 # change to your cards number or name } # 6 channel dmix: pcm.dmix6 { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_key_add_uid false # let multiple users share ipc_perm 0660 # IPC permissions (octal, default 0600) slave { pcm snd_card # see below rate 44100 channels 6 period_time 0 period_size 2048 # try 2048 against skipping buffer_time 0 buffer_size 5120 # in case of problems reduce this # in case of skipping, try increasing } bindings { 0 0 1 1 2 4 3 5 4 2 5 3 } } # upmixing: pcm.ch51dup { type route slave.pcm dmix6 slave.channels 6 ttable.0.0 0.75 ttable.1.1 0.75 ttable.0.2 0.75 ttable.1.3 0.75 ttable.0.4 0.375 ttable.1.4 0.375 ttable.0.5 0.375 ttable.1.5 0.375 } pcm.duplex { type asym playback.pcm "ch51dup" # upmix first # playback.pcm "dmix6" # just pass to 6 channel dmix capture.pcm "hw:0" } # change default device: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "duplex" } # for aoss pcm.dsp "duplex" pcm.front { type route slave.pcm "dmix6" slave.channels 6 ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 } pcm.rear { type route slave.pcm "dmix6" slave.channels 6 ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 } pcm.lfe { type route slave.pcm "dmix6" slave.channels 6 ttable.0.4 1 ttable.1.5 1 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
