Now I have a couple more questions.
1 - When I play a stereo audio file in XMMS, for example, and I control the volume slider, the front and rear channels successfully change their volume, yet center and subwoofer stay at what I assume is "full volume". Has anyone had experience with solving this problem?
If I set the alsa plugin to use "software volume control", indeed all 6 channels get adjusted - the problem is with hardware mixer only.
2 - Now I have to figure out how to deal with the mixer situation in general. What mixer device can I use or how can I set up one such that sliding the master volume on the mixer will raise or lower all 6 channels equally? Like I said in #1, the volume control in XMMS only adjusts FL, FR, RL, and RR. The volume slider in my panel that uses device /dev/sound/mixer only adjusts the FL and FR.
Is there any universal mixer I can setup/use to handle all 6?
Here is my /etc/asound.conf file -
pcm.mixed51 {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024489
slave {
pcm "hw:0,1"
rate 48000
channels 6
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 4096
}
}pcm.s51 {
type plug
slave {
pcm "mixed51"
channels 6
rate 48000
}
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.0.2 1
ttable.1.3 1
ttable.0.4 0.5
ttable.1.4 0.5
ttable.0.5 0.5
ttable.1.5 0.5
}ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
device 1
}As you can see, I tried to set the mixer to work with hw:0,1 but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Thanks for your help!
