Since you can't get 5.1 audio without an asound config of some type, and since everything on my system is configured to use multi-channel audio, I suppose the answer would be no. You'd get an entirely different error regarding plug:surround51.
I think the most annoying thing is that the alsa drivers as shipped just silently fail in this case. -- feisty - No sound in KDE or GNOME w/ alsa & audigy2 https://launchpad.net/bugs/81476 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
