The channel is unmuted, I toggled the mute state and increased the volume to the max. All to no avail. Thank you for your suggestion regarding the channel matrix. Unfortunately I couldn't find any documentation on how to interpret the channel matrix. I think I found the two matrices corresponding to my to remap sinks: http://pastebin.com/CuDjDaM4 I have no idea on how to interpret this. I'm a little bit confused by the separator line for in the first matrix. Also, the asymmetry of the second matrix looks weird to me (there is an empty row between the 1 of the second columns. Thank you for your help! Martin
