[Alsa-user] I tried the speaker-test app, but still nothing...

[Jason C. <jhc...@ch...>]

I finally found out about the little speaker-test app and tried it out 
on my new M-Audio Revolution 7.1, but I get very odd results.  Here's 
what I get for ./speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c 6:

Playback device is surround51
Stream parameters are 44100Hz, S32_LE, 6 channels
Sine wave rate is 440.0000Hz
period_size=1200, buffer_size=4800
   - Front Left (No sound)
   - Front Right (Heavily distorted sine wave on Front Left)
   - Rear Left (No sound)
   - Rear Right (Heavily distorted sine wave on Front Right
   - Center (No sound)
   - LFE (No sound)

I'm running Red Hat 9 with a custom built 2.6.0 kernel, recent ALSA 
CVS (copied the relevant stuff into my /usr/src/linux-2.6.0 
directory), M-Audio Revolution 7.1, SB Live.  I can get stereo output 
to work fine on both cards.  I can't get surround output on the 
Revolution at all, I've tried everything.  I can sort of get surround 
output on the Live (the "Front" output jack is broken).

Any ideas at all?  I've tried messing around with /etc/asound.conf but 
couldn't get anything useful.

Thanks,
Jason
