Hi,
i hope someone can help me solve this issue, i just dont want to believe i am the first one to run into it
so, whats my problem?
i set up my asrock ion330 with xbmc9.11(b1/2) and ubuntu9.10.
i followed the XBMCbuntu guide posted on the wiki, everything works like a charm except one thing:
i dont get analog 5.1 sound with the onboard-soundcard to work (= connecting the speakers to the 3 coloured jacks on the back).
i searched this forum and numerous other ubuntu/linux/alsa-forums but nowhere i found a solution to this problem.
what i did until now:
- installed xbmc following XBMCbuntu guide
- installed alsa with latest alsaupgrade-script found on ubuntuforums.org
- installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic (suggested in one forum)
- speaker-test -Dplugurround51 -c6 -twav gives no error, just only output on FL and FR-speakers
- xbmc-settings:
1. audio-output: analog / default
=> gives error "cannot initialize audio device"
2. audio-output: analog / custom / plugurround51
=> gives no error, plays FL and FR correctly
setting the option "downmix multichannel-audio to stereo" works well with both audio-devices
outputs:
alsamixer:
the "smart 5.1" stuff shown on the far right showed up after i installed "linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic", prior there were only the other mixers shown.
enabling smart5.1 disables mic!

i really hope someone is able to help me getting 5.1 sound to work as i really have no clue where to look for an answer or how to solve it. is it linux-related, xbmc-related, alsa-related, not even possible?
thx in advance
