Clemens, Thanks for your response. Before responding, I wanted to wait until my 4 speakers arrived. I've got them and connected them to the audio receiver as Front L R and Back L R. An spdif optical cable is connected from the sound card list above to the audio receiver. At your suggestion I ran the command "speaker-test -c 8". Only Front L R spoke. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated. John On Aug 27, 2007, at 2:38 AM, Clemens Ladisch wrote: > John Dey wrote: >> I have the above referenced sound card.
