Re: ALSA, PulseAudio and 5.1 surround sound
Hi,
I have the same problem like many of you! I have Hardy Heron 64, motherboard Abit KN8SLi, Sound card: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 0: Intel ICH [NVidia CK804] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 2: Intel ICH - IEC958 [NVidia CK804 - IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0. The PC is connected with an optical cable to the amplifier. The problem is that the SPDIF passtrough does not work, therefore the dolby do not work Is there any chance to solve the passtrough? |

Re: ALSA, PulseAudio and 5.1 surround sound
I went crazy for some days, then some minutes ago I came up with a working setup (trial and error approach rules
My hardware:
My /etc/asound.conf Code:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
Code:
default-sample-rate = 48000 default-sample-channels = 6
My user is in both pulse-access and pulse-rt groups From the gnome-volume-control applet I had to specify:
Now I have my stereo sound replicated through all my speakers, with surround. The speaker-test command works (except that I have rear channels and center/LFE swapped - actually I noticed that only performing a speaker test, else I would have said everything worked perfect) I'm gonna test some dvd playback with real 5.1 sound, and add my results. -- DVD playback results -- I still have only stereo output option under vlc Totem simply refuses to play my unencrypted dvd, gets stuck at 0:00. Moreover, under the Properties tab, it says that audio is AC3, but has 0 channels -- End of results -- My just two cents

Re: ALSA, PulseAudio and 5.1 surround sound
Anyone having problems with surround sound in pulseaudio, BEFORE messing around with asound.conf or anything like that, should probably check out this thread.
It might be very easy to get working |

Re: ALSA, PulseAudio and 5.1 surround sound
[QUOTE=Hknuckles
I installed the Hardy RC today and had similar problems with my 5.1, all I needed to do was uncomment the line 'default-sample-channels' in the file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and set the value from 2 to 6 for this line. Then I just set everything to use PulseAudio in System>Preferences>Sound. [/QUOTE] this worked for me as well, thanks |
