configuring a soundcard connector

[franfran]

hey guys.

i just installed ubuntu recently again.. and it works just fine. i have a soundcard on my desktop.. and the "green" connector works just fine outputting the sound. the "pink" one works great as the plug for the microphone.


however i have a 4 speaker system and i need one of the other connectors to act as another output. in windows the drivers would just let me do it.. but here in linux i have no idea what to look for.


my soundcard is turtle beach santa cruz.



thanks if you guys can help

Look in the volume control Options, or in the sound mixer for a line-in mode switch or something like that.

Surround sound is not enabled by default but here are some guides for getting that working:
