Oh sorry, it should be "-c8" instead of "-c7".

But, still it's puzzling. Are rear-left and center channels correctly played, but only rear-right comes from subwoofer?

I have a 2.1 system: front left and front right + separete active subwoofer. So, I can't test other channels. Sound is play only in front channel.

Also, try with "-c4" and "-c6". It's good to know all possible mappings.

The problem is that your sound system is 2.1 speakers and you are trying to play with 7.1 and other configuration.

Unfortunately, there is no standard 2.1 setup. You can write your own ~/.asoundrc to mix 2.1, though.

Can you help me with it? Umm, show what I need to write to this file or example at least. -- 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.
