I've given up on my Hercules Game Theater CS46xx in getting it to use surround sound (5 channels) so now I'm trying to get the onboard AC97 to work. Strange thing about this card is the multiple audio ports configs that are possible. It has 3 audio ports (line-in, mic and line-out). In 4 speaker mode one has to connect the front speakers to line-out and the rear + sub cable in the line-in port. The win driver detects the occupied ports and asks what setup to use and reprograms the ports. I don't now if this 'programming' remains active after a reboot to Linux but I haven't managed to get the rears working with Alsa.
Is there documentation about reprogramming the ports on this card? And can you give me some starting point where I should alter the config (.asoundrc, ICH.conf)? Does anyone here has the same problem? I've checked the wiki page (http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=intel8x0), the archives and the alsa docs but all I found was this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09490.html. I'll be very greatful for some starting point. From there I just muddle on ;) System info: Debian Sid Alsa version 0.9.8-1 MB: Asus P4P800 lspci: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) Ofcourse I've muted and unmuted all channels. -- Powered by Debian GNU/Linux ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
