The hardware cannot control the four analog outputs independently, but it's possible to use plugins for ALSA-aware applications. Put the following into your ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf: pcm_slave eightchannels { pcm "hw:0,0" # or "hw:1,0" for the second card channels 8 } pcm.stereo1 { type plug slave.pcm { type dshare slave eightchannels } bindings [ 0 1 ] } pcm.stereo2 { type plug slave.pcm { type dshare slave eightchannels } bindings [ 2 3 ] } pcm.stereo3 { type plug slave.pcm { type dshare slave eightchannels } bindings [ 4 5 ] } pcm.stereo4 { type plug slave.pcm { type dshare slave eightchannels } bindings [ 6 7 ] } then use device names "stereo1" to "stereo4" instead of "default" or "hw:x". > I also would like to leave the Digital out as an 7.1 to work with my > stereo for Watching movies. The SPDIF output is independent; it mirrors the front analog output only when the "spdif" device is not being used.
