| Does anyone manage to get surround sound with dmix support on the above card? Maybe through a modified .asoundrc file? |

State exactly which card you have - most Audigy cards don't need dmix.
See halfgaar:
| Code: | | speaker-test -D surround51 -c 6 -t wav |
For 2-channel stereo to 5.1-channel upmixing:
| Code: | pcm.ch51dup {
slave.pcm surround51
slave.channels 6
type route
# Front and rear
ttable.0.0 0.5
ttable.1.1 0.5
ttable.2.2 0.5
ttable.3.3 0.5
# Center and LFE
ttable.4.4 1
ttable.5.5 1
# Front left/right to center
ttable.0.4 0.5
ttable.1.4 0.5
# Front left/right to rear
ttable.0.2 0.5
ttable.1.3 0.5
} |
Some games need a bit of speaker re-routing. |

I dont care about games 
So the card is Sound Blaster Audigy SE. The thing is that I manage to get somehow 5.1 ( through .asoudrc file ) but when amarok is trying to use mix ( for example at the end of a song starts to play another one ) it crashes
I ll try to use your file when I get home |
