I recently purchased Asus e35M1-M Pro
OT: How do you like it? Any reviews you found useful on the WWW?
and I would like to get souround sound going from my 5.1 system. I have it connected accordingly to the manual (line in - rear speakers, line out - front speaker, mic in - bass/center) but anywy I try that is using guides like http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Surround_Sound I am not able to get sound from any other speaker then front left and right one. Alsamixer does not show any devices as shared to be available to switch to the output from input
speaker-test plays every file in the left and right front speaker at the same time
Here is my system information using 2.6.38-rc8-git3 http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0dd55b4640a8afff1552c4d0be0105e416ad1cf3 and 2.6.38-rc8-next-20110314 http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a8733bf0083929540948f51b5f33d9c8a62d9994
Please additionally attach those files next time, since the developers (I think at least Takashi) prefer it.
My question is what should I try next?
If I understood it correctly it does not work yet [2]. If this explains the issue for you please update [3] and you could also submit a report to the Gentoo bug tracking system (BTS). Maybe some developer will implement this. You could also figure out if there exists a ticket in the Kernel BTS and submit a feature request or, if it already exists, follow up there.
Thanks and good luck,
Paul
