The following issue has been REOPENED. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2296> ====================================================================== Reported By: Mobian Assigned To: tiwai ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 2296 Category: PCI - ice1724 Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: feedback Distribution: Gentoo Kernel Version: 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 07-21-2006 06:35 CEST Last Modified: 07-21-2006 21:53 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: AV710 - Only 2 channels on Optical Out Description: Despite having tried every asound.conf file I could find on the Internet that is supposed to work with this card, I can only get 2 channels (front left and front right) on the optical output of this card. I tested this with a simple call to speaker-test -c5 in hopes of testing 5.1 features, but I only hear sound on the front left and front right speakers. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 07-21-06 20:10 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It's correct behavior. SPDIF is basically for two linear PCM channels. What you want is AC3 encoding. You can try a52 plugin included in alsa-plugins for real-time 5.1 encoding. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mobian - 07-21-06 21:53 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah, good to know this is the correct behavior. Can you please point me in the right direction on how to configure the a52 plugin? I searched the ALSA Wiki and googled it and am coming up with nothing. I would really appreciate any direction you could provide, this is positively driving me mad.... Thanks!
