[ubuntu] 5.1 sound clicking 17 weeks 15 hours ago

I''m running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit on my laptop with an external Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro sound card plugged in via USB.

If I have output selected to stereo output then everything plays fine in stereo. However if I select surround 5.1 output then a fast clicking sound emits from all speakers, both when playing or sound or not.

I've recently bought a new PC, installed Ubuntu and am now unable to get 5.1 digital sound working.

I have a logitech LS21 2.1 speaker system.

Greetings forum.

As the title alludes to, I am using Linux Lite 1.0.4 and I am having problems getting the sound to work properly.

My sound card is a PCI - "Creative Labs, Sound Blaster Live 5.1" surround sound card, and the problem is, I cannot get sound from anything other than the front speakers.

I have tried adjusting the options in the sound preferences - Menu> Multimedia>

Hi Ubuntu forums

I have just build a boxee box from a intel nm10 chipset with an intel atom D525 CPU and nVidia ION 2 GPU. I've sat everything up, and have runned into a couple of issues, but one particular:

I can't get any surround sound from my machine.

I'm outputtin via a toslink s/pdif cable to Logitech ZZ5500 - a digital 5.1 sound system, but I can only get stereo from the machine.

Ubuntu and surround sound 28 weeks 6 days ago

im trying to connect my logitech x.530 to my dell studio 1558 and get 5.1 sound. I have 3 jaks and in windows i automaticly could switch between line in adn mic. Which means i could get 5.1 surround over these 3 jacks. Ubunut does not realise that one of the three jacks should be switched to give sound to the center and lfe speaker. Itried all the tips in the forums, but nothing works.

I use Ubuntu 12.04 on Asus N56VZ, the subwoofer used to work doing the following trick advised by Sami:

a. Add to rc.local

echo 0x1e 0x99130112 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/user_pin_configs

echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig

b. Add options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode4 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

c. Reboot

d.

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.
