Hi, I'm trying to emulate 5.1 for mp3, 2.0 videos, etc. I'm using a .asoundrc file. It works but I only can play a sound at the same time: I can hear music, but, while I'm doing this, I can't hear a video. I have been looking for a solution and I think that the problem is in *dmix*. I don't know how to modify the asoundrc file, any chnage make Amarok crash! This is my sound card: (hwinfo --sound) 28: PCI 507.0: 0401 Multimedia audio controller [Created at pci.301] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1102_7 Unique ID: mO1u.WCfr2+peI1A Parent ID: WL76.vuIf6LvchL4 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/0000:05:07.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:05:07.0 Hardware Class: sound Model: "Creative SB Audigy LS" Vendor: pci 0x1102 "Creative Labs" Device: pci 0x0007 "SB Audigy LS" SubVendor: pci 0x1102 "Creative Labs" SubDevice: pci 0x100a Driver: "CA0106" Driver Modules: "snd_ca0106" I/O Ports: 0xa000-0xafff (rw) IRQ: 17 (54561 events) Module Alias: "pci:v00001102d00000007sv00001102sd0000100Abc04sc01i00" Driver Info #0:Driver Status: snd_ca0106 is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe snd_ca0106" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #18 (PCI bridge) And this is my .asoundrc file: ################################################## ####### #This is the standard setting (see: "!default") #This profile, the default loaded, upmixes stereo sound to 5.1. pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "surround51" slave.channels 6 route_policy duplicate } ################################################## ###### #This is the normal spdif output profile (optical, toslink). pcm.!spdif { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,1" } ################################################## ##### #This is what one could call the "factory default setting", in other words, it only plays the actual channels. so if you fx want to watch a 5.1 movie, on the analog output, this is the option you want. pcm.analog { type plug slave analog_slave; } pcm_slave.analog_slave { pcm surround51; format S32_LE; } ALSA gives poor information about how to configure this sound card... ¿Any one has a asoundrc that works fine?
