Ubuntu and Asus Xonar D1

[Emanuele_Z]

Hi guys,

I just got a Xonar D1 (chipset CMI 8788 ).

It partially works but I got a couple of issues (using 10.04 x86-64).
I use it with a Stereo headphones and a mic.

1) It only outputs in 7.1/5.1 mode and only on the left headphone. If I reselect 7.1/5.1 while an audio stream is playing then I get stereo back. I've checked with Ubuntu 10.10 live CD and apparently the left channel is mapped to front, while the right is mapped to sub-woofer. How can I fix this?

2) The mic doesn't work. When I select the Xonar D1, I can choose between Analog Input, Analog Line In and Analog Microphone. When I switch between those I can hear a click coming from my pc, as if something HW is switching. I tried playing around with alsamixer but it doesn't work. Any idea how to make the mic work?

I'm a bit lost!

Cheers,

Regarding (1) I found out I have to put the headphones into the third plug when I chose Analog Output.

Still I can't make the mic work... any idea how to check?

Sorry for the caused distress, but I'm an ********** ...
I was looking at the picture where to plug the jacks topside down.
Big lol time

Now everything works... just the sound struts sometimes, when I use multiple applications together like Skype, Mplayer and SC2 (with Wine)...
