Now I have a couple more questions.
1 - When I play a stereo audio file in XMMS, for example, and I control the volume slider, the front and rear channels successfully change their volume, yet center and subwoofer stay at what I assume is "full volume". Has anyone had experience with solving this problem?
If I set the alsa plugin to use "software volume control", indeed all 6 channels get adjusted - the problem is with hardware mixer only.
2 - Now I have to figure out how to deal with the mixer situation in general. What mixer device can I use or how can I set up one such that sliding the master volume on the mixer will raise or lower all 6 channels equally? Like I said in #1, the volume control in XMMS only adjusts FL, FR, RL, and RR. The volume slider in my panel that uses device /dev/sound/mixer only adjusts the FL and FR.
Is there any universal mixer I can setup/use to handle all 6?
Here is my /etc/asound.conf file -
pcm.mixed51 { type dmix ipc_key 1024489 slave { pcm "hw:0,1" rate 48000 channels 6 period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_time 0 buffer_size 4096 } }
pcm.s51 { type plug slave { pcm "mixed51" channels 6 rate 48000 } ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 ttable.0.4 0.5 ttable.1.4 0.5 ttable.0.5 0.5 ttable.1.5 0.5 }
ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 device 1 }
As you can see, I tried to set the mixer to work with hw:0,1 but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Thanks for your help!
