Dear list, This is my .asoundrc, and the pair compressor + limiter works fine for stereo input: ----------- >8 pcm.ladcomp_compressor { type ladspa slave.pcm "ladcomp_limiter"; path "/usr/lib/ladspa"; plugins [{ label dysonCompress input { #peak limit, release time, fast ratio, ratio controls [0 1 0.5 0.99] } }] } pcm.ladcomp_limiter { type ladspa slave.pcm "plughw:Audigy2"; path "/usr/lib/ladspa"; plugins [{ label fastLookaheadLimiter input { #InputGain(Db) -20 -> +20 ; Limit (db) -20 -> 0 ; Release time (s) 0.01 -> 2 controls [ 20 -1 0.8 ] } }] } 8< ----------- Unfortunately, it does not work for 6 channels. I.e., this one works fine (I setup my system to use a certain PCM via environment variable): $ ALSAPCM='pcm.ladcomp_compressor' speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -l 5 This one does not and you hear only the left and right channels. $ ALSAPCM='pcm.ladcomp_compressor' speaker-test -c 6 -t wav -l 5 Of course the hardware is wired correctly and this one works as expected: $ ALSAPCM='pcm.surround51' speaker-test -c 6 -t wav -l 5 Since normally you have to select surround51 manually I thought that the problem could be in the output pcm, and I rewrote like this. But it is the same: ----------- >8 #[...] analogous 51 compressor omitted pcm.plug51 { type plug slave.pcm "surround51" slave.channels 6 } pcm.ladcomp_limiter51 { type ladspa slave.pcm "plug51" path "/usr/lib/ladspa" plugins [{ label fastLookaheadLimiter input { #InputGain(Db) -20 -> +20 ; Limit (db) -20 -> 0 ; Release time (s) 0.01 -> 2 controls [ 20 -1 0.8 ] } }] } 8< ----------- Is there a way? Any insight?
