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 - 07-19-06 05:50 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't have any ice17xx card It seem that you are the first Aureon 7.1 Universe user to test this driver You have to find out the label of those AK4xxx ADC/DAC on your cards http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel?f=d9808d13fa5f;file=pci/ice1712/ak4xxx.c;style=gitweb ---------------------------------------------------------------------- calestyo - 07-19-06 11:50 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >It seem that you are the first Aureon 7.1 Universe user to test this driver There must be some other users,.. because there have been already bugreports (I experience most of those issues, too) for the Universe by some other users. >You have to find out the label of those AK4xxx ADC/DAC on your cards Ok,.. I'll do that as soon as possible,... in the meantime,.. if I could do anything else that would help you, don't hesitate to ask me :) btw: The strange thing is, that with alsa-libs from hgrepository,.. the sound don't work at all. So perhaps something has changed there... I always get the ALSA lib pcm.c:2143:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:547: audio open error: No such file or directory even with plain aplay some.wav . I don't think that the reason there for is in the kernel-code, as the hgrepos alsa-driver/alsa-kernel stuff works when I use it with Debian sid libasound2. Maybe I do something wrong with the hg alsa-lib,.. but I don't think so... I've made a kernel with only soundcore support,.. booted it, ./configure&&make&&make install'ed alsa-driver modprobed snd-ice1724 and ./configure&&make&&make install'ed alsa-lib 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 07-18-06 17:35 Raymond Note Added: 0011067 07-18-06 17:39 Raymond Note Edited: 0011067 07-18-06 18:03 calestyo Note Added: 0011068 07-18-06 18:12 Raymond Note Added: 0011069 07-18-06 18:30 calestyo Note Added: 0011070 07-19-06 03:36 Raymond Note Added: 0011077 07-19-06 05:50 Raymond Note Edited: 0011077 07-19-06 11:50 calestyo Note Added: 0011084 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
