I just realized I am only hearing sound out of my front Left and Right speakers. I'm not sure when this started - perhaps after upgrading to Fedora 11. I know in Fedora 10 I had analog from front and rear outputs of my SB Live. I can switch the cables on the sound cards and hear front signal out the rear speakers so I know it's happening within the card. When I run pavumeter I see the remixed signal going out all five channels, and it changes appropriately when I slide rear/front in gnome-volume-mixer, but I hear nothing out the rear. I thought perhaps the rear channel on the soundcard broke, but I get the same result listening to the S/PDIF output. I tried running gamix which once upon a time gave me the ability to change volume on rear independently from the front, but now seems unable to do that. It's like there is a hidden volume control on the other channels that pulseaudio doesn't know about, or I would see the rear muted in pavumeter, right? Thanks, Kyle
