I have 6 speakers (6.0) My Ali Corp M5455 has

into all three and with the right settings, get nice front, middle, rear
out. kasound worked great until the last update. It would generate the
correct .asoundrc file for you. Really sweet app, but it hasn't been
supported for a couple of years now and is long in the tooth. I was just
hoping to find a nice little gui, tell it what I have, and let it edit
the file for me. You know, just like Windows. <someone shoot me for
saying that! :) >
That's how sound should be, and probably will be in a few years. Video
setup used to involve things like mode lines and horizontal and vertical
scan frequencies, etc. Now all that is in program logic and unless you
want to you don't have to look at it.
But I did google and found quite a few methods of composing
the .asoundrc file. So, I found an rpm for alsaconf but it was for Suse
or Mandrake and requires rpms we don't have so I scrapped that notion.
So, being as the alsa crowd has a gui-configuration scheme, it would be
nice to have it for Fedora. Thank you again for your response, I'll give
it a go and see what happens! Ric
It is probably obsolete. When alsa sets up, it should automatically
configure your card correctly. That means with something called
surround60 in your case instead of surround51. It wouldn't be hard to
map stereo to 6 speakers but splitting the sound into frequencies would
be missing unless alsa has builtin fft. If it does, I'm not familiar
with it.
You could try this in your .asoundrc
# This creates a 6 channel interleaved pcm stream from two stereo channels
# Assuming that they are interleaved and 2 is middle left, 4 is rear left.
pcm.surround60 {
type route;
ttable.0.0 0;
ttable.1.1 1;
ttable.2.2 0;
ttable.3.3 1;
ttable.4.4 0;
ttable.5.5 1;
}
# see above.
ctl.surround60 {
type hw;
card 0;
}
pcm.!default{
surround60
}
ctl.!default{
surround60
}
