It plays back stereo without problems. I wanted to use the rest of my 5.1 speaker set, so for a test I ran the speaker-test program. Running it without parameters or with 2 or 4.0 channels works also fine. So far so good. But when I run it with 5.0 channels or 5.1 channels the CPU load of speaker-test goes to 100%. I'll show the output of top along with the command lines below (for the 2.0 and 5.1 case) in the "Additional Information" box. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bitmage2 - 07-31-06 23:16 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, 'speaker-test -c 6 -Dsurround51 -t wav' runs correctly for 20 rounds (correctly = shown channel gets played every time). BTW: I found one (probably unrelated) information about the rear channel (on Hercules Game Theter XP7.1): The rear channels volume is regulated by controls Surround.0 and PCM.1 - this is very strange, as PCM.1 is the ONLY "index 1"-device I found that is doing something useful. PS: This test was made with ALSA 1.0.9b. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond - 08-01-06 02:40 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There should be a female voice speaking the channel name on the corresponding speaker when you specify '-t wav' option of speaker-test (you need to use speake-test in alsa-utils 1.0.12rc1) Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 02-23-06 00:48 bitmage2 New Issue 02-23-06 00:48 bitmage2 Distribution => SuSE Linux 10.0 02-23-06 00:48 bitmage2 Kernel Version => Linux 2.6.13-15.8-default #1 Tue Feb 7 11:07:24 UTC 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux 02-23-06 00:54 bitmage2 Note Added: 0008164 02-23-06 00:55 bitmage2 Issue Monitored: bitmage2 07-11-06 05:58 Raymond Note Added: 0010964 07-14-06 20:57 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011004 07-14-06 20:59 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011005 07-14-06 21:25 rlrevell Note Added: 0011006 07-14-06 22:40 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011008 07-14-06 22:57 rlrevell Note Added: 0011009 07-15-06 01:28 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011013 07-15-06 01:45 rlrevell Note Added: 0011014 07-15-06 05:09 Raymond Note Added: 0011017 07-15-06 07:17 Raymond Note Edited: 0011017 07-23-06 11:34 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011183 07-23-06 13:49 Raymond Note Added: 0011185 07-23-06 14:14 Raymond Note Added: 0011186 07-23-06 14:16 Raymond Note Deleted: 0011186 07-23-06 15:04 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011189 07-24-06 04:19 Raymond Note Added: 0011209 07-24-06 05:04 Raymond Note Edited: 0011209 07-24-06 20:38 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011214 07-25-06 03:00 Raymond Note Added: 0011223 07-25-06 03:03 Raymond Note Edited: 0011223 07-25-06 03:05 Raymond Note Edited: 0011223 07-25-06 10:05 Raymond Note Edited: 0011223 07-25-06 10:13 Raymond Note Edited: 0011223 07-25-06 21:53 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011232 07-26-06 02:03 Raymond Note Added: 0011235 07-26-06 02:09 Raymond Note Edited: 0011235 07-26-06 08:41 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011245 07-26-06 10:27 Raymond Note Added: 0011247 07-29-06 03:01 Raymond Note Added: 0011295 07-30-06 03:06 Raymond Note Added: 0011312 07-31-06 23:16 bitmage2 Note Added: 0011353 08-01-06 02:40 Raymond Note Added: 0011362 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
