ALSA require sound card to use "surround40" , "surround51" to play multi-channels it is ok if you are using the onboard HDA with 6 audio jacks in rear panel if you look at the above URL of intel desktop audio support when your Micro ATX motherboard only has three audio jacks you need to configure Configuring 6-Channel Audio and retask "Mic" and "line" for output Item Description A Line In [retaskable as Rear Left/Right Out] B Line Out [Front Left/Right Out] C Mic In [retaskable as Center/LFE (Subwoofer) Out] the other sound cards may need to change the "channel mode" from "2" to "6" and that switch is hooked with the "surround51" device in /usr/share/alsa/cards/*.conf but winealsa does not use those devices name -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344588 Title: Wine doesn't support 5.1 and 7.1 sound -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
