But longtime computer geek. I have an issue with my Asus M4A78 (same as yours but ATI graphics), that the LFE channel works in speaker-test but has no output from applications (even when they should output 5.1, like a DVD in VLC). I believe that some layer, maybe even the hw, is remixing to 5 (minus the .1) without being asked, as even CD sound plays over all five speakers. And there is no gui configuration program I can find to specify such a remixing (which I am sure the soundcard is capable of). Currently I am trying an upgrade (via script from ubuntu forums) to the latest Alsa, from .18 to .19. If that doesn't resolve (and I don't expect it to): I am curious if you got 5.1 working properly with your soundcard. Also the SPDIF would be an option for me, can I ask the location of that code you mentioned? (If it's a config file and you wouldn't mind posting yours, would be fantastic). I have been under the impression that the 1708S is not explicitly supported by Alsa, because it's not yet listed in the Alsa-project homepage list :-/ Many thanks, Dave _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
