Hi All I'm having a problem with the speakers attached to an Aureon 7.1 Space sound card (if it makes any difference these work fine under Windows XP), I can only get sound from the front two speakers and nothing from the 7.1 set-up. This machine is a Dell Dimension 8400 with the onboard sound disabled in the BIOS and I've also tried with the boot option pci=routeirq both of those made no difference. This PC is running openSUSE 10.3 with the latest Alsa installed. I'm not too hot on debugging sound problems in Linux and I've tried as many options and debugging tips as I could find but still no joy. Any pointers to a resolution would be great. :) I also seem to have a problem with the volume settings not being saved, if I run alsactl save it runs OK but the restore gives the following error: alsactl restore alsactl: set_control:1300: incompatible field type for control #1 alsactl: set_control:1300: incompatible field type for control #53 If anyone needs more info please let me know and the following is the debugging scripts output I've produced so far: aadebug: http://pastebin.ca/918955 alsa-info: http://pastebin.ca/918965 alsa.conf: http://pastebin.ca/919092 tsalsa: http://nopaste.com/p/aqe0Vu2at output from aplay: aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: T71Space [Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space], device 0: ICE1724 [ICE1724] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: T71Space [Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space], device 1: IEC1724 IEC958 [IEC1724 IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: T71Space [Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space], device 2: ICE1724 Surrounds [ICE1724 Surround PCM] Subdevices: 3/3 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 bill.pye@babylon5:~> aplay -L default:CARD=T71Space Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space, ICE1724 Default Audio Device front:CARD=T71Space,DEV=0 Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space, ICE1724 Front speakers surround40:CARD=T71Space,DEV=0 Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space, ICE1724 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=T71Space,DEV=0 Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space, ICE1724 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=T71Space,DEV=0 Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space, ICE1724 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=T71Space,DEV=0 Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space, ICE1724 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=T71Space,DEV=0 Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space, ICE1724 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=T71Space,DEV=0 Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space, ICE1724 IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) sndstat output: cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.16 emulation code) Kernel: Linux babylon5 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space at 0xcc20, irq 19 Audio devices: 0: ICE1724 (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 31: system timer Mixers: 0: ICE1724 - multitrack I'm afraid most of that info of gobbledygook to me but thanks in advance for looking at it.
