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? ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- calestyo - 07-17-06 20:49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok I'm back ;) Uhm probably a stupid question but how do I integrate alsa manually? I need the libs (libasound2 and the kernel stuff) for testing this, right? But how do I remove the alsa stuff already in the vanialla kernel? Is there any step by step guide how to use alsa sources from cvs? Thx ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- calestyo - 07-18-06 03:23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok,. I think I managed it to compile the whole stuff from cvs.... First I compiled and loaded alsa-drivers... I've noted that the fix for 2242 which I've reported before has not yet been applied (is this going to be done) so I patched the bug manually, thus cat /proc/asound/cards give me now correctly: 0 [T71Universe ]: Aureon71Univ - Terratec Aureon 7.1-Universe Terratec Aureon 7.1-Universe at 0x3880, irq 82 Ok,.. then I make && make installed alsa-lib... using it with my previous (from Debian sid) alsa-utils like aply amixer and so on leads to this: $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0 aplay: device_list:231: control open (0): No such file or directory $ alsamixer ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory $ 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 pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround40 Playback open error: -2,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 (same for surround51 and 71) speaker-test -Dfront -c 2 -t wav speaker-test 1.0.11 Playback device is front Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels WAV file(s) ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM front Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM front Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory (same for side, etc.) The alsa-util stuff from cvs does not compile correctly,.. there are some autotools problems as far as I can see with po/Makefile.in.in ... Any other things that I could help you with?
