alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #194 was opened from Gebbx:
Hi,
Usb sound card Xonar U7 MKII plays multichannel content without issue, but only through aplay
`aplay -D hw:2,0 test.wav #6 channels file`
in other cases only two channels work (downmixed)
I have tried different combinations of settings.
Editing asound.conf gives no results too.
The digital output also does not work in any combination of settings, but works (only two channels) in the following case:
`pcm_slave.u7spdif { pcm "hw:2,1" } pcm.u7spplug { type plug slave u7spdif hint { show on } }`
If I understand correctly, in this case it output the decoded signal and it will always be two-channel.
I found a topic: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=253179
So, i have to edit USB-Audio.conf,
```
USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device {
# "NoiseBlaster 3000" 42
"USB Sound Blaster HD" 1
"Xonar U7" 1
"MKII" 1 # my card
}
```
but this is not recommended.
How can this be done in another way?
Example given in the USB-Audio.conf file forces system to reboot.
`cards.USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device."MKII" 1`
Thanks!
