Hi James, It was your program that further confirmed that it does not work for me!
$ ./speaker-test -Drear -c 2 speaker-test 0.0.3 Playback device is rear Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels Sine wave rate is 440.0000Hz ALSA lib pcm.c:1812:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM rear definition (id: rear, value: cards.pcm.rear) Playback open error: Invalid argument I'm using ALSA 1.0.1. What is different??? Thanks, John James Courtier-Dutton said: > 5.1 Audio works fine on my ALC650 rev 3 chip. > I have a Intel ICH5 chip controlling it. > Try my speaker-test program from > http://www.superbug.demon.co.uk/speaker-test/ > > Cheers > James > > > John W.
