Unfortunately it's not possible to change the volume with this.
Now there is still stereo sound, but i have a "master"-volume bar in "alsamixer" which wasn't there before. Last edited by keenblade on Fri 10:39 am edited 1 time in total (like freq filtering which is like creative's crystallizer in their win driver.) Use instructions on Creative_USB_X-Fi_Surround_5.1. Mine is complicated even I don't understand fully. Yes, they where both selected in that menu.ĭr-peppa, anyway I suggest you to start with simple ".asoundrc" and when you have it working you can tweak the file more. I've both installed gmpc and mpc, they are both issuing this error. How do you play music? with gmpc like me?ĭid you select "ch51dup" or "lowpass_21to21" within gmpc in servers menu? What gives the above ERROR? mpd from console as a user? have copied your ".asoundrc" and have configured the "mpd.conf" but when I want to play music, it says: What could that be? I'm missing the "surround51" plugin in the ".asoundrc", which made my speaker-test work. I have copied your ".asoundrc" and have configured the "mpd.conf" but when I want to play music, it says: Thank you for your help, but at the moment it doesn't work. Need help to get it working: "x-fi surround 5.1" If I choose " lowpass_21to21" also frequencies are adjusted which makes sound great on my logitech sound system. If I choose "ch51dup" stereo music is converted to 5.1 sound. So I need to use this config for ~/.mpdconf: Frequencies are adjusted well and speakers routed right. Anyway it is not complete, but works fine and sounds great. asoundrc file at the second post of the link. Look at my signature, you will see and find my.
You need to create and tweak ~/.asoundrc file.
Posted: Thu 10:48 pm Post subject: Re: USB Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro I only work in stereo, so I don't have any links in mind. The first thing I would do is try various music players, especially ones known to be surround-capable.

What other software have you tried? speaker-test is probably surround-capable, so if individual programs have to be surround-capable, all speaker-test would do is tell you that IF your program is surround-capable, it should work. It wouldn't hurt to read the ALSA docs, boring as it might be. In "alsamixer" there is no Volume-Setting for the soundcard.Ĭan somebode give me at least one or two links to gather up the info I need? I have no idea where to start. The subwoofer and all the other speakers get the signal correctly.(front-left,front-center.says the woman) but when I play a Song with mplayer, I only get this Stereo-Sound.īass is produced by the small speakers (subwoofer doesn't work at all). Command shows me, that it is already working. I wonder, why there is no Howto for the USB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro on the internet, as it is for graphic-cards.ĭo I really have to read over the whole alsa-project for just making this soundcard to give me some music? midi,stereo,pcm,surround,channel,samplerate, etc. (I'm a total noob if it is about sound-things.

Gentoo Studio: A Gentoo-based, professional digital audio workstation OS. I wonder if whatever program you're using to play music has to recognise surround sound in order for surround sound to work. !!Advanced information - PCI Vendor/Device/Subsystem ID's

I know, that you might need some additional information about my system configuration or so, but as I don't know what exactly is necessary, I would like you to tell me what you need. Has anybody an idea, how it could be done to listen to 5.1 sound with mplayer,cmus,vlc, etc. I suggest, alsa is working good because of the working speaker-test. However, when I want to play music, I only get this normal Stereo sound and the basses comes from the small boxes. The basses are produced by the subwoofer, as it should be. It works out of the boxl and I can hear 6 chanel sound on my 5.1 speakers. I've been trying to get my external USB-Soundcard which is a Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro (Model-No: SB1095) to work properly for days now.
