The driver use more than two channels only after David 's patch But all internal speakers of the notebook are at front of the user, The 3D sound effect is quite different from your external 5.1 speakers Do you mean your 5930g need champ {FL FR RL RR LFE }? This can be easily implemented by using "swap center/lfe" switch for those codec support R/L swap http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob_plain;f=test/chmap.c;hb=HEAD http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=tree;f=src/conf/pcm;hb=HEAD If codec does not support R/L swap, your 4.1 swap chmap need 5.0 routing Do you expect pulseaudio show 4.1 swap(5.0) profile for internal speakers and 4.1 and 5.1 profiles for external speakers ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
