Report to devlist as requested from USB-Audio.conf header:
Thanks for the report.
- all this headsets with windriver inf files + manual showing c-media driver must have
the cm106x series 7.1 channel usb-codec in. there's no other from c-media for the design of 5.1 channel usb headsets available at this time, see:
http://www.cmedia.com.tw/?q=en/usb_audio
- the headset interface shows up with 8 channels in lsusb -v , 1 8-ch pcm in /proc,
and must be driven with surround7.1 pcm plug instead of surround5.1 or it will not work. speaker-test program works with -c6 -Dsurround7.1, test with -c8 works too, but shows that no SideL/R -speakers connected/routed/downmixed ( Speedlink Medusa 5.1 Mobile USB Headset, cm106L)
OK, and what about surround40? Does it work as is (I don't expect so, though)?
For adding the proper configuration, please check the content of /proc/asound/cards. It gives the name string. If the proc entry is like:
0 [Foo ]: FOO - FOO BAR FOO BAR DEVICE (Blah 0.0)
then "FOO BAR" is the name string that we need to pass. (FYI, "FOO" is the driver string, "Foo" is the ID string and "FOO BAR DEVICE (Blah 0.0)" is the longname string.)
Now add the following to ~/.asoundrc:
USB-Audio."FOO BAR".pcm.surround51 { @args [ CARD ] @args.CARD { type string } type route ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.2.4 1 ttable.3.5 1 ttable.4.2 1 ttable.5.3 1 slave { pcm { type hw card $CARD device 0 } channels 8 } }
Also, /proc/asound/card*/stream* files would be helpful to understand more, at best, together with lsusb -vv output.
