[Alsa-user] HELP Sound Blaster 0410 only one channel out

[<cl...@dw...>]

OK, Im a nubie to Alsa, so this is probably a simple/stupid
question.

I Just added a Sound Blaster Live! (24 bit) 0410, to a running
Fedora 4 System (2.6.11 Kernel,- but later available).

It correctly(?) uses the snd-ca106 kernel module.

But, I have a default /etc/asound.conf file with only two lines in it,

	defaults.pcm.card 0
	defaults.ctl.card 0

and all of the sound from /usr/bin/system-config-soundcard comes 
from the right hand speaker.

And yes I have unmuted the alsa-mixer, but I find the entries there
strange, namely

	Analog Center/LFE
	Analog Front
	Analog Rear
	Analog Unknown
	Capture feedback into PLAYBACK
	SPDIF Center/LFE
	SPDIF Front
	SPDIF Out [Off]
	SPDIF Rear
	SPDIF Unknown

I would expect to see some Left/Right entries if this were going to
produce 2channel sound.

What do I have to do to get stereo output from normal Dumb Powered 
Speakers, Ill worry about more sophisticated output down the road.

As I said, Im new to ALSA, so if this is a simple/dumb question,
please dont jump all over me... I do learn fast, but I need a starting
point (and some sound on this machine).
