Hi, I own a soundblaster 4.1 and I experience the following problem: I can't get the rear channel to work. There isn't even a volume control for it (neither in amixer nor in alsamixer). I'm using the snd-ens1371 driver that should do the job.
The card is a basic design using a CT5880 PCI controller and a Sigmatel STAC9708T codec. That's what's printed on the chips. Both aplay -D "hw:0,0" /tmp/test.wav aplay -D "hw:0,1" /tmp/test.wav play through the main channel. Any thoughts?
