Hi All!

I just have a quick question. After fixing the bug in SuSE 9.1 with sound (has something to do with Kmix and KDEMultimediasomethingorother), I have managed to get sound working. Unfortunately I have to shift the speaker connection from the green connector that Windows uses for sound, to a connector two places up the card (may be blue). Does anyone know what I can do to make SuSE use the green connector on the SBLive! card? I'm not a big fan of plugging and unplugging live devices at the back of the PC :-)

My system is AMD 64 2800+ with SBLive sound card, running SuSE 9.1 Pro 64 Bit (and XP on another drive).

It works for me correctly with the old OSS non ALSA SBLive! driver (and a old SBLive!).

I kind of don't even see the problem here, it's almost certainly just messed up mixer settings(muted master control??), I have an SB Live! here(5.1), with 4.1 speakers, and I don't recall ever having any significant problems with either artsd or OSS emulation... In fact, I didn't even bother much with the onboard sound, I like this one as it is. I don't remember when was the last time I've actually tested whether the surround speakers work(meaning, actually have 2 more channels rather than just emit some sound :), but I'm quite certain I have them connected to the corresponding colours on the back(and that 4.1 sound

...

worked at *some* point), plus headphones to the surround jack.

Nevermind that one, I've realized I've watched a DVD with surround sound relatively recently :)

This may sound realllllyyyy dumb, but which connectors are which (my card never came with any manuals)? I am using a set of Altec Lansing 2 Satellites plus a sub.

It should have the markings on the back panel, but IIRC, lime(light-green) is front(line out), black is rear, pink is microphone, blue is line input, and orange is digital/headphones("SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack" control in alsamixer, off for headphones). Check the "4-speaker stereo" control, too...
