I have installed the Alsa kmp package 1.0.19. It is required. I have made the appropriate entry in /etc/modprobe.d/sound for model=6stack-dig. I no longer have an asoundrc file anywhere. I have proper separation of the 5.1 channels and the digital is enabled. The microphone problem is solved and it records. BUT This only holds true if logging into (or out and back into) a KDE4 session. If I log into (or out and back into) a KDE3 session then the only device I can play sound on is "default" with paramaters of -c2 or 4 or 6 or 8 and the sound is always stereo combined and without channel separation. In a KDE3 session if I try to do a "speaker-test -c6 -Dsurround51 -tw" it reports and error stating that the device cannot be accessed because it is busy. Should I restart with rcalsasound in a KDE3 session I can restore 5.1 sound but then the desktop crashes (desktop icons disappear and no response from left, center, or right click of the mouse). Any ideas why the sound devices are being initialized properly in a KDE4 session but not in a KDE3 session? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
