[Alsa-user] No surround sound under Doom 3

2008-03-17 Thread William R. Zwicky
I can't get surround sound with Doom 3 and Quake 4 under Linux. Stereo output works fine, aplay works fine, and speaker-test works in every mode, stereo and surround. But when I try to enable surround sound in Doom 3, I get this: dlopen(libasound.so.2) asoundlib version: 1.0.14a opened Alsa P

Re: [Alsa-user] Forcing Alsa only in Ubuntu (7.10)?

2008-03-17 Thread Tobin Davis
This is normal. The alsa-oss package is a wrapper for non-alsa applications. The snd-seq-oss and snd-pcm_oss are drivers that help translate OSS calls to ALSA at the kernel level, whereas the alsa-oss package contains a library that converts OSS system calls to alsa system calls. The driver vers

Nigel, Well, as I said in my private email (forgot to include the mailing list), I connected up my USB box, and can now both record and play back using arecord and aplay. So the problem seems to be in the configuration of the SB sound card. It was a cheap OEM one, so probably isn't well supported
