 Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2003 5:12 pm Post subject: rear speakers not working with alsa cs46xx driver |
 |
|
Hi folks,
I've got a 4.1 speaker set and I can't bring the rear speakers to work. I've tried fiddling with the commands
| Code: | amixer set '3D Control - Depth' 50%
amixer set '3D Control - Center' 50%
amixer set '3D Control - Switch' on |
but it doesn't work: only the front speakers make some sound.
I've got a terratec dmx xfire 1024 with a Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01) audio controller, running on alsa latest emerge version (0.9.2).
Has anyone got a clue?
Thanks,
Zerbet
ps: here's the output of amixer:

install gnome-alsamixer the set wave surround to near 75%.
Enjoy |

nope it doesn't work: I don't have any 'wave surround' mixing possibility, just the '3d control - *' elements, that of course don't work. I've notived that when touching the 3d depth mixer, sound gets a bit more quiet on the front speakers, but the rear speakers don't play a tune.
Thanks for your proposal, though.

Yeah, a few people have had this problem with cs46xx cards. I have a hercules fortissimo III / 5.1 setup, with surround working.
The first couple of posts here are relevant. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/55236
You want to upgrade from 0.9.2 to 0.9.6. You'll need to specify the ebuild directly.
if | Code: | | aplay -D pcm.rear test.wav |
works, you have a chance. If not, fiddle with your alsamixer settings.
I added a few lines to my /etc/asound.conf, which now reads
| Code: | pcm.cs46xx {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.cs46xx {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default{
type plug
slave {
pcm surround40
}
route_policy default
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.0.2 1
ttable.1.3 1
}
|
the pcm.!default bit being the addition I made. This was from a german site I found on Google, I don't speak german, and have no idea what this is actually doing. This seems to make the surround40 (mirrored stereo to back, i think) the default. However, as far as I can tell, this only works with native alsa applications, not the oss layer. So test with alsaplayer or something.
If anyone can recommend a good alsa-aware audio player that doesn't skip when I load a web page, it would be appreciated...
