Prob SB Live 5.1 with XMMS Player

[Guest Revolver]

After installing with sucess Mandrake 9.1 my problems came, ok i'm newbie but at least i try to learn and enter linux community.

 

 

So i install everything correctly, my drive is the emu10k1 in my sb live 5.1 and my problem is, i have 5 speakers and a subwoofer

 

And i only achieve

 

to manage sound in the subwoofer and in 3 speakers, the rear ones just don't work, i think isn't from the drive, i have sound, i thnik it's from the software, i have tried XMMS, maybe you with your knowledge know of any plugin or another player that have 5.1 support.

 

 

PS: The sound in mandrake is just great, far best then in windows.

 

 

Thanks for all your help :wink:

Thanks for your help,

 

Altougth,i follow every line i see in your link, when i'm finishing it gives me an error, that the kernel is not equal to the source, so i can't manage to a good installation.

 

I'm newbie in this so i don't know how to solve it out.

 

Any ideas or new ones.

 

 

Thanks again for your time. :wink:

May need to install kernel-source.rpm here so these drivers will complete the compile process.

scoopy is right, you'll need the kernel-source RPM installed. go into software manager and search for "kernel", then look for a file containing the words kernel-source with a version number matching that of the kernel you have installed.

 

or just open a command line, su to root, and type: urpmi kernel-source

urpmi alsamixergui

 

Enable surround sound with this utility if you keep using ALSA as the audio driver.

I just remembered something...I dunno if this is true on Mandrake, but I know in Gentoo when installing the emu10k1 driver there is a file (/etc/emu10k1.conf) which holds some settings for the driver. one of the enables 5.1-I would suggestion checking that file, if it exists.
