Hello Peter,

Yes, I had thought that the receiver might be the problem, so I started 
testing the analog outputs of the sound card.  I used a single cable 
into the amplifier and plugging it into each of the analog output 
channels (connectors) of the sound card.  When doing that, I get the 
same problem, so it is not the amplifier.  It is not the sound card as I 
have gone through three completely different cards (models: Live!, 
Audigy and Via8233).

My problem is either the command I am giving to mplayer or alsa 
configuration.  I will look for the speaker test program you mentioned 
and try that.

Thank you,

TomW
