I've spent most of tonight trying to get surround sound to work... but the best I can get is four channels (specifically, front left/right, center, LFE). Nothing happens when samples are sent to the rear channels. And the front channels are mirrored onto the rear speakers, under control of the Headphone volume control. Which is really annoying, because it means that muting the master volume doesn't mute the back speakers. I realize this isn't much information. I don't know what else to check but I'll be glad to debug it if someone can give me a pointer. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rlrevell - 01-28-06 02:08 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Skype should not block anything as long as it is run as "aoss skype". openwengo should work too - apps do not have to do anything special to "support dmix", as long as it's using the "default" PCM and not one of the "hw:x" devices. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rlrevell - 01-28-06 02:55 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have just installed wengophone to investigate, and its device selection is incorrect: it only allows the choice of the hw devices, and anything defined in ~/.asoundrc - making it impossible to select the "default" PCM required for dmix to work. You may be able to work around this by defining a PCM in ~/.asoundrc that is just an alias for the "default" PCM. But this bug should really be reported to the openwengo developers.
