Unless it is loading the wrong driver you won't be able to get 8 channels without either modifying the driver or duplicating the existing channels to the missing channels. I recommend you run the following script for more information on your setup. It scans your PC and puts the results on a website, then gives you a link to them. You can examine the result to see if your card is being recognized incorrectly. Perhaps there is an option you can set to specify the correct model. http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
