I only work in stereo, so I don't have any links in mind. The first thing I would do is try various music players, especially ones known to be surround-capable.

What other software have you tried? speaker-test is probably surround-capable, so if individual programs have to be surround-capable, all speaker-test would do is tell you that IF your program is surround-capable, it should work. It wouldn't hurt to read the ALSA docs, boring as it might be. In 'alsamixer' there is no Volume-Setting for the soundcard.Ĭan somebode give me at least one or two links to gather up the info I need? I have no idea where to start. The subwoofer and all the other speakers get the signal correctly.(front-left,front-center.says the woman) but when I play a Song with mplayer, I only get this Stereo-Sound.īass is produced by the small speakers (subwoofer doesn't work at all). Command shows me, that it is already working. I wonder, why there is no Howto for the USB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro on the internet, as it is for graphic-cards.ĭo I really have to read over the whole alsa-project for just making this soundcard to give me some music? midi,stereo,pcm,surround,channel,samplerate, etc. (I'm a total noob if it is about sound-things. Gentoo Studio: A Gentoo-based, professional digital audio workstation OS. I wonder if whatever program you're using to play music has to recognise surround sound in order for surround sound to work. !!Advanced information - PCI Vendor/Device/Subsystem ID's Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 740 1.73GHzĠ : USB-Audio - SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 ProĬreative Technology Ltd SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.6, fullĠ0:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)Ġ1:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) Sorry for my poor english, I haven't been practicing the last few years and thanks in advance. I know, that you might need some additional information about my system configuration or so, but as I don't know what exactly is necessary, I would like you to tell me what you need. Has anybody an idea, how it could be done to listen to 5.1 sound with mplayer,cmus,vlc, etc. I suggest, alsa is working good because of the working speaker-test. However, when I want to play music, I only get this normal Stereo sound and the basses comes from the small boxes. The basses are produced by the subwoofer, as it should be. It works out of the boxl and I can hear 6 chanel sound on my 5.1 speakers. I've been trying to get my external USB-Soundcard which is a Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro (Model-No: SB1095) to work properly for days now.
