I have the problem that analog PCM center_lfe Output (and therefore also surround51 is not working on SBLive5.1. While playback works on surround40, I can't send sound to the center channel and get a message from libasound:
ALSA lib setup.c:343:(snd_config_get_ctl_elem_value) bad value index As far as I understood I need to set the combined Analog/Digital Output Jack to analog output, which I did using amixer sset 'SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack' on Simple mixer control 'SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [on] I could not find means for further debugging, so I'd like to know where to look from here on. System is Debian, gcc2.95.4, ALSA CVS from 02/26/2002 just before 0.9.0beta12 and yesterdays CVS, as well as some earlier CVS Versions in the past weeks. Any Ideas ?
