Hi David, Intel dg45id here so ymmv. On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 11:45:13PM +0200, David H?rdeman wrote: > Channel mapping seems funky.

Speakers are connected correctly though Unfortunately, this is a problem on all HDMI boards of which I know. That is, Intel and Nvidia boards supporting multichannel over HDMI have this issue. The only solution which I've found here is to remap the surround51 playback device via /etc/asound.conf. pcm.!surround50 { type route slave.pcm hdmi slave.channels 6 ttable { 0.0= 1 1.1= 1 2.4= 1 3.5= 1 4.3= 1 } } pcm.!surround51 { type route slave.pcm hdmi slave.channels 6 ttable { 0.0= 1 1.1= 1 2.4= 1 3.5= 1 4.3= 1 5.2= 1 } } When mplayer encounters a 6 channel stream, it'll use the surround51 device by default. You will want to check any other players used. > Each time a new audio starts playing, there seems to be a 50/50 chance > of complete silence, meaning that for each track change while listening > to music (for example), the entire track will either play or stay > silent. This is odd I've never had this happen. I do get a half second of track skip between tracks so track transitions sound pretty terrible but complete silence, perhaps a developer will know what this is about. I wonder if the skip between tracks and the silence problems are related. IE, is the hardware reset on device open doing more harm than good?
