Hello list, I've successfully installed ALSA on my server, having two Terratec PHASE 28 cards. The problem is that from all 8 sound outs, the mixer recognises as stereo pairs only four. The `amixer -c 0` output is as follows: Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 255 Front Left: Playback 255 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 255 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 128 Mono: Playback 128 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Front',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Front Left: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Center',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'LFE',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Side',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Front Left: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 127 [100%] [on] As you can see, the mixer controls Side and Front are stereo (i.e. have two channels), but the mixer controls Center and LFE are mono. The same goes to my second Terratec PHASE 28 card. Unfortunately, I had installed the same versions of ALSA and the channels were OK. But after I reinstalled my server - the Center and LFE stereo channels became mono. I'm using ALSA drivers 1.0.9, ALSA utils 1.0.9 and ALSA lib 1.0.9. Has anyone solved this problem? I need 4 stereo channels but not 2 stereo and 2 mono. -- Cyberly yours, Petar Nedyalkov Devoted Orbitel Fan :-) PGP ID: 7AE45436 PGP Public Key: http://bu.orbitel.bg/pgp/bu.asc PGP Fingerprint: 7923 8D52 B145 02E8 6F63 8BDA 2D3F 7C0B 7AE4 5436 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
