Problem with 5.1 speakers

After Installation I Installed first Pulseaudio, then ALSA, but still I have no sound. Arch is up to date. I checked sound in Mint, so it isn't hardware problem.Drivers seem to be ok, I also unmuted all channels in alsamixer. speaker-test doesn't produce any noise. I have no idea why it doesn't work.

Just a follow up to this for anyone with the same issue.  I ended up installing alsa, alsa-oss, and pulseaudio-alsa, and then configuring them with an Alsa Mixer (in this case xfce4-mixer, but there are others) and Pulseaudio Volume Control (pavucontrol).  In Pulseaudio Volume Control, I disabled 'HD-Audio Generic', as it is for the HDMI output of my graphics card, and set &#03

Hello all,

Is someone able to play this in Sourround with PulseAudio?

I have an XBMCBuntu installation (based on Ubuntu 11.10), meaning that I don't have a graphical desktop environment installed.

I've connected a set of USB speakers, and for about a minute or two, running pacmd list-sinks yields only one sink: my laptop's onboard sound card.

After about 3 minutes, running the same command yields both the original sound card and the USB speakers, at which point I

Question in short: How can I do a thorough removal of both Pulseaudio and ALSA drivers as well as flashplayer? My flash no longer works after switching from Pulseaudio to ALSA.

If this is in the wrong place, then please move it.  I've posting because it has taken me close to a month to figure out how to channel map pulseaudio on my system.  I started on Xubuntu 12.10, and now completed it on waldorf.  I have a 5.1 card (CM8738) with 3 outputs for 6 speakers.  I'll mention the jacks later in the post.  This is how I fixed my system in wa

Just as an introduction: before the upgrade to 12.04 I was only able to get surround sound working by using the AlsaUpgrade script to upgrade alsa to 1.0.25. Without that I would have only stereo options in Sounds Settings.

The upgrade to to 12.04 overwrote the alsa on the system back to version 1.0.24, but Sound Settings does show 5.1 output.

Just installed F12 and noticed that the volume control applet is now all Pulseaudio rubbish, not Alsa like gmixer used to be.

So now I don't seem to be able to mute my speakers when I'm using my headset, which in F10 I could do by just muting LFE/Center.

Ubuntu 12.04; linux-kernel 3.2.0-27; alsa driver ver. 1.0.24 i have some problem with my HDA Intel ALC662 rev1. When i unmuting front mic in alsamixer, noise appear in my speakers in rear panel, but anyone devices is not plugged in in front panel.
