It plays fine in two channels but any attempts to use -Dsurround51 or -Dsurround40 fail. Ie: Playing WAVE 'space_battle.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Channels 6 aplay: set_params:906: Channels count non available I've been working on it long enough that I suspect it's a driver limitation (but please correct me if I'm wrong!). I've verified that the card works in surround mode in Windows, so I know the hardware is fine. Is there anything I can do to get my soundcard working? Or if it's a driver issue, is there anything I can do to help? Thanks, Tim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
