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 - 07-18-06 14:25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Try speaker-test -Dplughw:0,0 -c 2 -t wav speaker-test -Dplughw:0,2,0 -c 2 -t wav speaker-test -Dplughw:0,2,1 -c 2 -t wav speaker-test -Dplughw:0,2,2 -c 2 -t wav ---------------------------------------------------------------------- calestyo - 07-18-06 14:34 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- All of these result in the same error: $ speaker-test -Dplughw:0,2,2 -c 2 -t wav speaker-test 1.0.11 Playback device is plughw:0,2,2 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels WAV file(s) ALSA lib pcm.c:2143:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM plughw:0,2,2 Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2143:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM plughw:0,2,2 Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory 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 06-29-06 15:37 calestyo Note Added: 0010649 06-29-06 15:40 Raymond Note Added: 0010650 06-29-06 15:45 calestyo Note Added: 0010651 06-29-06 15:52 Raymond Note Added: 0010652 06-29-06 15:54 Raymond Note Edited: 0010652 06-29-06 15:56 calestyo Note Added: 0010653 06-29-06 15:58 Raymond Note Added: 0010654 06-29-06 16:01 calestyo Note Added: 0010655 06-29-06 16:04 Raymond Note Added: 0010656 06-29-06 16:07 calestyo Note Added: 0010657 06-29-06 16:08 Raymond Note Edited: 0010656 06-29-06 16:12 Raymond Note Added: 0010658 06-29-06 16:19 calestyo Note Added: 0010659 06-29-06 17:50 tiwai Note Added: 0010677 06-29-06 19:05 calestyo Note Added: 0010695 06-30-06 02:02 Raymond Note Added: 0010709 06-30-06 02:14 rlrevell Note Added: 0010711 06-30-06 05:13 Raymond Note Edited: 0010709 07-03-06 19:28 calestyo Note Added: 0010803 07-03-06 19:37 rlrevell Note Added: 0010804 07-17-06 20:49 calestyo Note Added: 0011049 07-18-06 03:23 calestyo Note Added: 0011051 07-18-06 03:23 calestyo Note Deleted: 0011049 07-18-06 05:54 Raymond Note Added: 0011052 07-18-06 05:58 Raymond Note Edited: 0011052 07-18-06 13:37 calestyo Note Added: 0011054 07-18-06 14:24 Raymond Note Added: 0011058 07-18-06 14:25 Raymond Note Edited: 0011058 07-18-06 14:34 calestyo Note Added: 0011059 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
