[xine-user] Xine - 5.1 Audio - SB Live 5.1 and Analogue 5.1 Speakers

[<dav...@ma...>]

Hello:

I have posted this on the Alsa Users List as well, but thought that =
maybe some Xine-Users or Developers may be able to offer advice - as I =
think the problem may crossover.

Over the past few days I have been trying to set up a SB Live 5.1 Card =
on my SuSE 9.0 - 2.4.21 system to work with a set of Philips Analogue =
5.1 speakers....

So far I have not had any luck in getting these to work - as the =
centre/digital output seems to always be digital even though I have =
specified analogue and also I cannot seem to get the satellite (back) =
speakers to work.  Thus the centre speaker constantly produces a =
horrible crackling sound ..

However, when I did play a 5.1 DVD in Xine, I was able to get actual =
sound out of the centre speaker ... but when playing non 5.1 dvds or =
DVB, the horrible crackling sound returns.

I have an older 4.1 soundblaster live card which when I plug in and use =
with the speakers I am able to get full 4.1 sound without of course the =
centre speaker - so the back satellite speakers work fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to set up the new 5.1 =
card to get it to work properl?

Cheers,

David
