Hello, I used to use stereo speakers to listen to my PC. It worked ok. But I wanted more and bought 5.1 speaker set and connected it to my SB Live soundcard. Almost everything works now. Almost. When I had only two speakers connected to one audio output, I could control whole volume with one slider. In KDE (kmix), xmms, others ... Now most programs, which I use, control only one pair of my speaker set. It drives me crazy. 6 speakers, but when I want to control all of them, I have to do some magick with alsamixer/other mixers. It isn't easy anymore. I have to control volume with pseudo-remote attached to speaker set. Even using alsamixer I have to move two or more strange-named sliders to control all speakers. Could it be easier? In my dream I go back to the past and use master control to control global volume and other controls to control front/rear/left/right/whatever combination speakers. Can it be done with SB Live routing or something? I use Debian Linux SID, kernel 2.6.5, ALSA drivers attached to kernel source. Can you give me more information? Or send me to more proper place to ask my questions? I spent some time searching google and found no satisfying resolution to my problem, which I repeat at the end - I cannot control volume of my all 6 speakers connected to SB Live with one volume slider. Regards, Robert PS. All 6 speakers work with no problems. Movies with surround sound I watch with pleasure (with mplayer).
