I have tried various settings on alsamixer and I used various speaker-test forms to validate settings. When I use: speaker-test -Dplug:surround40 -c4 then I hear just Front-Left and Front-Right. There is total silence on the rear channels. I plugged the rear speakers plug into the 2nd sound output jack. Some hints would be appreciated. I have been searching around the internet and have found other issues regarding the AD1980, but not this one. I do realize it may be my setup that's wrong, but the chance is getting quite small by now. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- znerd - 12-14-05 08:46 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure whether I set or unset 'PNP OS'. I'll have a look at the BIOS settings when I come home. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- znerd - 12-24-05 16:33 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I do not even have a 'PNP OS' setting. So what's the next step? Do I need to provide any additional feedback? Note that I installed Windows XP (SP2) this week, but I could not see how to enable surround sound there. I could indicate I have Quadrofonic speakers, but I'm not sure whether that should work.
