Greetings,
I'm working on a computer with a 5.1 sound card and am running Debian Sid.
$ dpkg -l pulseaudio
ii pulseaudio 0.9.21-1.2 PulseAudio sound server
$ lspci -vvv | grep audio
02:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24/30
[CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01)
I've tweaked /etc/pulse/daemon.conf as follows:
; default-sample-channels = 2
default-sample-channels = 6
; default-channel-map = front-left,front-right
default-channel-map =
front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
and restarted pulse.
However, I see that my channels are still at two:
$ pactl list
[snip]
Sink #0
State: SUSPENDED
Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_02_09.0.analog-stereo
Description: CS 4614/22/24/30 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio
Accelerator] Analog Stereo
Driver: module-alsa-card.c
Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz
Channel Map: front-left,front-right
Do I need to configure alsa for 5.1 sound as well as PA?
Thanks for any advice,
