Thema: 5.1 Surround Sound mit Suse 10.1 x64 und KDE 3.5.5

Hi Leute,

bin seit Neustem der stolze Besitzer eines Logitech Z-5450 5.1 Surround Soundsystems.
Allerdings schaff ich es nicht unter Suse (10.1 x64 und KDE 3.5.5) 5.1 zum laufen zu bringen. Es werden bei mir nur der vordere linke & der vordere rechte Lautsprecher benutzt ( sowohl bei Amarok, MPlayer, vlc etc. als auch bei "speaker-test -c6"). Aus der Center-Box, dem Subwoofer und den beiden Rearboxen kommt nichts! Unter Windows funktioniert alles wunderbar, daraus schließe ich, dass alles korrekt angeschlossen ist, und irgendwas mit der Software/Treiber nicht stimmt.

Als Soundserver nutze ich Alsa:

Code:

rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsamixergui-0.9.0rc1-558
alsa-32bit-1.0.11-32
alsa-tools-gui-1.0.13-0.pm.1
kalsatools-1.5.0-365
alsa-tools-1.0.13-0.pm.1
alsa-1.0.13-0.pm.0
alsa-firmware-1.0.13-0.pm.0

Hab im Alsamixer auf 6Channels gestellt.

Meine Soundkarte wird unter YAST als K8N4-E erkannt. Das ist das ASUS Mainboard A8N-E (also Onboard Sound). Verbunden ist es über diese drei Stecker (sehen so aus wie Stereo Kabel).


Danke schonmal für eure Hilfe,
hoffe ich habe keine wichtigen Infos vergessen,

Hallo,

als Root

Code:

lspci | grep -i audio

Schau dir dies (Posting #6) mal an, vielleicht hilft das weiter. Dazu noch das hier.

Hi Kernelman,

Code:

lspci | grep -i audio
00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)

Also ich eine Datei ~/.openalrc mit dem Inhalt aus dem Thread erstellt und anschließend openal installiert ("apt-get install openal"). Allerdings hat sich jetzt nichts verändert.... speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 liefert immer noch das selbe Ergebnis. Amarok trotz Surround 5.1 Einstellung spricht auch nur die vorderen beiden Boxen an.... Muss ich noch irgendwas machen, um OpenAL zu benutzen? Oder hat Apt das schon automatisch für mich gemacht....

Zitat von John Doe

Amarok trotz Surround 5.1 Einstellung spricht auch nur die vorderen beiden Boxen an....

Na, das finde ich doch auch sehr vernünftig von Amarok, weil auf Dolby getunte Stereo Sounds einfach furchtbar sind ... *hust*. Aber ok, darum gehts ja nicht, also zur Sache.

Welchen Kernel fährst Du?

Code:

rpm -qa | grep kernel

uname -r

cat /etc/SuSE-release

Zusätzlich bitte posten:

Code:

amixer -i

lsmod | grep -i snd

Hallo John Doe,

Also ich habe selbst kein Surround-System, daher weiß ich nicht so recht weiter.
Die Einstellungen Deines Mixers sehen eigentlich recht vernünftig aus, denke ich.

Ideen oder Ansätze sollten für Dich sein:

1) Als root ausführen:

Code:

alsaconf

2) Vielleicht hilft hier etwas aus ALSA-Configuration.txt:

Code:

  Module snd-intel8x0
  -------------------

    Module for AC'97 motherboards from Intel and compatibles.
			* Intel i810/810E, i815, i820, i830, i84x, MX440
			* SiS 7012 (SiS 735)
			* NVidia NForce, NForce2
			* AMD AMD768, AMD8111
			* ALi m5455

    ac97_clock	  - AC'97 codec clock base (0 = auto-detect)
    ac97_quirk    - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware
                    The following strings are accepted:
                      default = don't override the default setting
                      disable = disable the quirk
                      hp_only = use headphone control as master
                      swap_hp = swap headphone and master controls
                      swap_surround = swap master and surround controls
                      ad_sharing = for AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone
                      alc_jack = for ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode
                      inv_eapd = inverted EAPD implementation
                      mute_led = bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED
                    For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer
                    value -1, 0, ... are accepted, too.
    buggy_irq     - Enable workaround for buggy interrupts on some
                    motherboards (default yes on nForce chips,
		    otherwise off)
    buggy_semaphore - Enable workaround for hardwares with buggy
		    semaphores (e.g. on some ASUS laptops)
		    (default off)

    Module supports autoprobe and multiple bus-master chips (max 8).

    Note: the latest driver supports auto-detection of chip clock.
    if you still encounter too fast playback, specify the clock
    explicitly via the module option "ac97_clock=41194".

    Joystick/MIDI ports are not supported by this driver.  If your
    motherboard has these devices, use the ns558 or snd-mpu401
    modules, respectively.

    The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround
    for specific devices.  Some hardware have swapped output pins
    between Master and Headphone, or Surround.  The driver provides
    the auto-detection of known problematic devices, but some might
    be unknown or wrongly detected.  In such a case, pass the proper
    value with this option.

    The power-management is supported.

Vorgehen dazu analog zu hier

Grüße

Jacko

Also auch damit komm ich nach ausführlichem testen nicht weiter.
Ich bin schon fast soweit, dass ich behaupten würde mit der Hardware kann man kein 5.1 zum laufen bringen (zumindest noch nicht).
