A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2244> ====================================================================== Reported By: calestyo Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 2244 Category: PCI - ice1724 Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux Kernel Version: 2.6.17 ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 06-29-2006 01:35 CEST Last Modified: 06-29-2006 15:36 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: Aureon 7.1 Universe speakers in incorrect order when doing a speaker-test Description: I use my Aureon 7.1 Universe with a TerraTec HomeAreon TXR 884 7.1 speaker set. I've connected the outputs of the soundard to those of the subwoofer which itself connects the small speakers the following way: Soundcard -------------- Subwoofer --- Small Speakers Out Front <---------+--> In FL <-----> Front Left Speaker \--> In FR <-----> Font Right Speaker Out Rear <----------+--> In SL <-----> Side Left Speaker \--> In SR <-----> Side Right Speaker Out Center/Subwoofer <-> In C <------> Center Speaker \> In Subwoofer Out Back Surround <----> In BL <-----> Back Left Speaker \--> In BR <-----> Back Right Speaker You might have a look at soundcard manual page 8 (http://supportuk.terratec.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=574) and speaker manual page 12 (http://supportuk.terratec.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=724) My speakers are placed in my room in a configuration as the 7.1 shown on page 12 in the speaker manual. As you note the connection from rear to side is a little bit strange (at least I thought so,...) but this seems to be correct, because when I use the windows mixer supplied by TerraTec itself, there is a surround test included which shows the position of the 8 speakers and let me put the indiviually on and off and this leads always to the correct position. The problem now: I tried the same as under Windows unter Linux with the speaker-test tool. I called it via speaker-test -t wav -c 8 and the following came out: What wav file was played ----- in which speaker position the wav file was played "Front Left" ----------------- Front Left Speaker (correct) "Front Center" --------------- Center Speaker (correct) "Front Right" ---------------- Front Right Speaker (correct) "Side Right" ----------------- Back Right Speaker (probably wrong!) "Rear Right" ----------------- Side Right Speaker (probably wrong!) "Rear Left" ------------------ Side Left Speaker (probably wrong!) "Side Left" ------------------ Back Left Speaker (probably wrong!) "LFE" ------------------------ Subwoofer (correct) No one could think that I should just switch the speaker cables but that can't be a proper solution (not only because this would break settings in the original Windows driver (which I only use for Upgrading my Plextor drive firmware ;) ). I think the configuration of the surround for the Aureon 7.1 Universe has here some mistake, hasn't it? ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond - 06-29-06 15:29 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- How about ? speaker-test -Dsurround40 -c 4 -t wav speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c 6 -t wav speaker-test -Dsurround71 -c 8 -t wav ---------------------------------------------------------------------- calestyo - 06-29-06 15:36 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $ speaker-test -Dsurround40 -c 4 -t wav speaker-test 1.0.11 Playback device is surround40 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 4 channels WAV file(s) ALSA lib confmisc.c:1105:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.Aureon71Univers.pcm.surround40.0:CARD=0' ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3947:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround40 Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:1105:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.Aureon71Univers.pcm.surround40.0:CARD=0' ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3947:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround40 Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory ... $ speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c 6 -t wav speaker-test 1.0.11 Playback device is surround51 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels WAV file(s) ALSA lib confmisc.c:1105:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.Aureon71Univers.pcm.surround51.0:CARD=0' ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3947:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround51 Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:1105:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.Aureon71Univers.pcm.surround51.0:CARD=0' ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3947:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround51 Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory ... speaker-test -Dsurround71 -c 8 -t wav speaker-test 1.0.11 Playback device is surround71 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 8 channels WAV file(s) ALSA lib pcm.c:2017:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM surround71 definition (id: surround71, value: cards.pcm.surround71) Playback open error: -22,Invalid argument ALSA lib pcm.c:2017:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM surround71 definition (id: surround71, value: cards.pcm.surround71) Playback open error: -22,Invalid argument Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 06-29-06 01:35 calestyo New Issue 06-29-06 01:35 calestyo Distribution => Debian GNU/Linux 06-29-06 01:35 calestyo Kernel Version => 2.6.17 06-29-06 01:36 calestyo Note Added: 0010634 06-29-06 01:36 calestyo Issue Monitored: calestyo 06-29-06 15:29 Raymond Note Added: 0010647 06-29-06 15:36 calestyo Note Added: 0010648 ====================================================================== Using Tomcat but need to do more?
