this is exactly my problem too!
Great respect and many thanx to the alsa developers, but I get endless
rows of sliders in alsamixer, some control this, some control that, some
control both. is there a way to find out wich sliders do what and why and
which ones to leave allone out there?
( it seems the onboard card is way much simler it only shows 1/3 of the
controls )
bye,
Matthijs.

Hello,
I used to use stereo speakers to listen to my PC. It worked ok. But I wanted
more and bought 5.1 speaker set and connected it to my SB Live soundcard.
Almost everything works now. Almost. When I had only two speakers connected to
one audio output, I could control whole volume with one slider. In KDE
(kmix), xmms, others ...
Now most programs, which I use, control only one pair of my speaker set. It
drives me crazy. 6 speakers, but when I want to control all of them, I have
to do some magick with alsamixer/other mixers. It isn't easy anymore. I have
to control volume with pseudo-remote attached to speaker set.
Even using alsamixer I have to move two or more strange-named sliders to
control all speakers.
Could it be easier? In my dream I go back to the past and use master control
to control global volume and other controls to control
front/rear/left/right/whatever combination speakers.
Can it be done with SB Live routing or something?
I use Debian Linux SID, kernel 2.6.5, ALSA drivers attached to kernel source.
Can you give me more information? Or send me to more proper place to ask my
questions? I spent some time searching google and found no satisfying
resolution to my problem, which I repeat at the end - I cannot control volume
of my all 6 speakers connected to SB Live with one volume slider.
Regards,
Robert
PS.
All 6 speakers work with no problems. Movies with surround sound I watch with
pleasure (with mplayer).
