C-Media cm8768 surround issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello fellow alsa users!

I have a M-Media CM8768  based PCI soundcard. It has 8 channels. On this card there are jacks for all 8 speakers in addition to line in and mic.

I am having problems getting all the channels to work correctly.

If I do:

 speaker-test -D surround71 -c8 -twav

all channels work - center front , sides L/R, rear L/R and center rear     --  except the front left and right

also, if i do

speaker-test -D surround51 -c6 -twav

the selected channels work  fine  --  except the front left and right.


but  if i do

speaker-test -D front -c2 -twav

the front speakers work (only)

aplay -D surround51 -c6 A6channelfile.wav

yields the same results.


I do not have an .asoundrc file (i think that may be needed? to route thees channels?)


Also I had a ensoniq card with 4 channels that worked fine before I got this one.
All I really need is 5.1 for now..

I was up till 4:00AM with this I hope some one can help :)

Below is gobs of info on my setup. Let me know if you  need more.


Thanks in advance
Stan
