Hello Folks,
Is there any way to generate 5.1 output with Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 sound card when a 5.1 souce file like AC3 is played? The driver which is included with the 5.4 is just stereo :-(
I don't think that's true at all. First requirement, though, is digital interfacing. Then, you'll want a program called a52dec, it's in ports, by that name, but I forget where exactly. That's the decoder function.
You'll want a card that supports this. The soundblaster Audigy is very cheap, and fully supported by the emu10k1 driver. Support in Linux is also great, I love that card, and it's cheap. The driver outputs both analog and digital simultaneously.
I would very much like to have a source file that had fully separated test toones, one ofor each channel, so that I could test and verify the 5.1 operation, but I must rely upon my ear, and very poorly separated sources. Under those circumstances, I guess I could not really warrant its correct operation.
Regards S.
