I can't get surround sound with Doom 3 and Quake 4 under Linux. Stereo output works fine, aplay works fine, and speaker-test works in every mode, stereo and surround. But when I try to enable surround sound in Doom 3, I get this: dlopen(libasound.so.2) asoundlib version: 1.0.14a opened Alsa PCM device doom for playback buffer size select failed: Invalid argument close pcm dlclose WARNING: sound subsystem disabled This is under Ubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-14). The chip is a Realtek ALC883, the driver is hda-intel. I've installed Ubuntu's drivers (1.0.14), Realtek's drivers (apparently 1.0.15), and the latest HG drivers as of 2008 Mar 17 (1.0.16), and they all behave the same way. I've found one bug report that seems relevent: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1725 and one discussion: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/23989 Can anyone verify this? Am I out of luck here? Is there a plugin or other asoundrc hack that will isolate Doom 3 from the card? -B ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
