Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-2 Severity: normal I cannot get surround sound with VideoLogic SonicFury sound card (snd-cs46xx) and Debian 6.0.7.
Using Fedora 18 Live (with ALSA packages versions 1.0.25 and 1.0.26) I found that the problem is in default values for center and LFE controls which are set to 0. If I change this value I am able to get surround sound. However I do not see these controls in Debian's alsamixer at all - this way I cannot unmute center and LFE channels. -- Package-specific info: --- Begin additional package status --- Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===========================-===========================-====================================================================== ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applications --- End additional package status --- --- Begin /proc/asound/version --- Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21. --- End /proc/asound/version --- --- Begin /proc/asound/cards --- 0 [CS46xx ]: CS46xx - Sound Fusion CS46xx Sound Fusion CS46xx at 0xfeaff000/0xfe900000, irq 17 1 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5 Intel ICH5 with AD1985 at irq 17 --- End /proc/asound/cards --- --- Begin /dev/snd/ listing --- total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Mar 23 13:13 by-path crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 14 Mar 23 13:13 controlC0 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 10 Mar 23 13:13 controlC1 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 11 Mar 23 13:13 midiC0D0 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 13 Mar 23 13:13 pcmC0D0c crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 12 Mar 23 15:45 pcmC0D0p crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 9 Mar 23 15:45 pcmC1D0c crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 8 Mar 23 15:45 pcmC1D0p crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 7 Mar 23 13:13 pcmC1D1c crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 6 Mar 23 13:13 pcmC1D2c crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 5 Mar 23 13:13 pcmC1D3c crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 4 Mar 23 13:13 pcmC1D4p crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 3 Mar 23 13:13 seq crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 2 Mar 23 13:13 timer --- End /dev/snd/ listing --- -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages alsa-base depends on: ii linux-sound-base 1.0.23+dfsg-2 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsof 4.81.dfsg.1-1 List open files ii module-init-tools 3.12-2+b1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 164-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages alsa-base recommends: ii alsa-utils 1.0.23-3 Utilities for configuring and usin Versions of packages alsa-base suggests: ii alsa-oss 1.0.17-4 ALSA wrapper for OSS applications pn apmd <none> (no description available) ii oss-compat 0.0.4+nmu3 OSS compatibility package Versions of packages libasound2 depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib -- Configuration Files: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf changed: blacklist snd-pcsp blacklist snd_pcm_oss blacklist snd_mixer_oss /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf changed: alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0 install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1 install sound-slot-2 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-2 install sound-slot-3 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-3 install sound-slot-4 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-4 install sound-slot-5 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-5 install sound-slot-6 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-6 install sound-slot-7 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-7 install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq ; } install snd-rawmidi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-rawmidi && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; : ; } install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-emu10k1-synth ; : ; } options bt87x index=-2 options snd-cs46xx id=CS46xx index=0 options cx88_alsa index=-2 options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2 options snd-intel8x0 id=ICH5 index=1 options snd-intel8x0m index=-2 options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2 options snd-pcsp index=-2 options snd-usb-audio index=-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
