Hi folks, I'm looking for recommendations on a preferred (small) Linux distro for surround work. To start with, I'd like to run on a Asus 35 M1-M Pro motherboard as I have one handy. Unfortunately, my current Ubuntu distro seems to have difficulties picking up its built-in 8 channel audio but my relatively poor knowledge/experience of Linux means I can't be sure if I'm doing something wrong (most probable scenario) or if it's a distro or hardware limitation.
Hard to say without more data. How are you trying to use the 8 channels and what error are you getting from the system or program?
At a very basic driver level, does your card show up in /proc/asound/cards? (ie: from a terminal do a "cat /proc/asound/cards"). If it does and it is the first, what do you see in /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params?
A bit off topic I guess :-) -- Fernando
As I only went for Ubuntu because I had some experience with it already, I thought it would make sense, before going further, to seek advice about optimum-for-audio distros and concentrate on one of those and preferably one without much bloat.
