Lex do you know how to make a file for 6.1 stereo?

Wow, I don't know. Maybe

pcm.ffi71 {
type route
slave.pcm surround71
slave.channels 8
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.0.2 1
ttable.0.3 1
ttable.1.3 1
ttable.0.4 0.5
ttable.1.4 0.5
ttable.0.5 0.5
ttable.1.5 0.5
ttable.0.6 0.5
ttable.1.6 0.5

}
find any wav file stereo and type

aplay -D ffi71 *.wav

Answer OK? ....Lex

problem is there is no surround61 file

Find any stereo file and type (must WAV)

aplay -D ffi71 *.wav

....Lex

I typed and got the following:

[root@localhost ~]# aplay -D surround71 /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/pop.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:907: Channels count non available

Should I create a file called ffi71, i used surround71....

Yes, this is You new device

aplay -D ffi71 /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav
....Lex

I am sorry, I don't understand. I created a file named ffi71(see below) and saved it to /home/ffi

aplay -D /home/ffi/ffi71 /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:2148:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /home/ffi/ffi71
aplay: main:548: audio open error: No such file or directory


I pasted the follow in the new file called ffi71:


pcm.ffi71 {
type route
slave.pcm surround71
slave.channels 8
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.0.2 1
ttable.0.3 1
ttable.1.3 1
ttable.0.4 0.5
ttable.1.4 0.5
ttable.0.5 0.5
ttable.1.5 0.5
ttable.0.6 0.5
ttable.1.6 0.5

}

No, look first post

touch $HOME/.asoundrc
mcedit $HOME/.asoundrc

Now paste to .asoundrc

pcm.ffi71 {
type route
slave.pcm surround71
slave.channels 8
ttable.0.0 1

ttable.0.5 0.5
ttable.1.5 0.5
ttable.0.6 0.5
ttable.1.6 0.5

}

This only plays 5.1 though, no sound from my rear center speaker

(btw a 6.1 setup is like 5.1 plus a rear center speaker)

@ffi I think.
To test speaker use
speaker-test
