zapx Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hi all Just installed my new linux box (still have an window$ Xp with dual boot, but hopefully it wont last long). Anyway, I'm using Mdk 9.2 & have an Audigy Platinum eX sound card with an external rack + an Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 with 5 speakers + subwoofer system. I'm using the digital in/out between the sound card and the Inspire 5.1 system. I get sound out on the external rack through headphone out, but nothing comes out on my 5.1 speaker system. I'm using snd-emu10k1 as the sound driver. I fiddled whith all the possible controls in alsa-mixer but to no event and am now at a complete loss Can't think of anything else to do to get it to work. Will it work ? Does anybody know if this type of configuration works ? Well i need your out there. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapx Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 :D me's a happy guy. Found the solution nearly all be myself :D Well AND with the help of a few fellows out there in #musb, thanks. So here's the solution : In ALSA Mixer, mute the IEC958 Optical Raw channel Simple he ? Some cracks and pops come out of my speakers but it's ok. so for now, that's all folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 (edited) You can check out this snd-emu10k1 Wiki, and see if it can help: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=emu10k1 Update: Guess you solved it now :) .

neutro Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Well you said you fiddled with all mixers in alsamixer... Did you unmute the Analog/Digital Output Jack? It's the second-to-last one for my card (SB Live! 5.1). I had to turn it off since I don't have digital speakers and it only spitted static through the center speaker by default... I guess if your headphones work, that's a good start -- I mean, alsa works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 This isn't a problem with alsa so much, i think i had to mute digital out to get the same card working in XP for my little brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
