as you see above, there are double entries with different indices, so apparently the fm801 driver already probed two codec properly. i guess you didn't configure the secondary codec. please try unmute and adjust the volume of secondary mixer elements, i.e. 'Master,1' and 'PCM,1'. most likely this corresponds to the center/lfe volume. > I'm considering upgrading to a Sounblaster Audigy (for this among > many other reasons) but I read that it has similar problems with 5.1 > output, is that still true? iirc, it works for analog outputs. the digital output seems not working yet. recently a patch was applied to support the spdif i/o on audigy drive, but i myself cannot test it.
