[Alsa-user] Hercules Theater XP 6.1 and surround

[Johan Groth]

Hi everybody,
I have a great deal of problems to get 5.1 sound to work when I play DVD:s. I use alsa 0.9.0rc6 and mplayer 0.90pre9 as my DVD player. If I try "mplayer -channels 6 -dvd 1" the only thing I get is the front speakers and nothing else, no center, no LFE. I also tried "mplayer -channels 6 -dvd 1 -ao alsa9" but that resulted in this:

alsa-init: testing and bugreports are welcome.
alsa-init: requested format: 48000 Hz, 6 channels, Signed 16-bit (Little-Endian)
alsa-init: compiled for ALSA-0.9.0rc6
alsa-init: got device=0, subdevice=0
alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: hw:0,0
alsa-init: pcm opend in block-mode
alsa-init: unable to set channels: Invalid argument
couldn't open/init audio device -> no sound

Has anyone of you managed to get 5.1 sound from a Theater XP 6.1?

Cheers,
Johan
