Hi everybody, I'm currently experimenting 5.1 sound with ArchLinux. I am interested to know how other Archers managed to get everything running (including center and woofer).
I've "taught" alsa to duplicate sound on all 6 channels but I am not sure this is how it should be done. I've added the 2nd .asoundrc example here [1] to my configuration but amarok started crashing [2]. Other multimedia apps seem to behave strangely. [1] http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Surround_Sound#Duplicating_across_all_channels [2] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127592 Arts seems to work, with buffering set to minimum - amarok-engine-arts doesn't work (in amarok 1.3.9). While trying lots of players I've noticed that the alsa config described above works with XMMS+esd output (alsa works - if a specific device is selected - but no duplicated channels). Again, how do archers do surround sound? Thanks, Mircea -- Psi Forums Moderator/Bug Tracker Manager Psi Windows Installer Maintainer/ArchLinux Package Maintainer http://mircea.bardac.net
