Hi, I've got soundblaster live! audiocard and I'm trying to use it in combination with logitech Z-650 surround speakers. The digital coaxial output doesn't seem to work at all. All I get is just some noise. speaker-test -c 6 -Dplughw:0,0 I don't know if it is even possible to get the digital sound working with logitech speakers. Are the coaxial plugs similar in these devices? In analog setup with speaker-test -c 6 -D surround51 doesn't give center or LFE channel. There is something funny going on in the middle/LFE/digital out plug... speaker-test -c 6 -D surround51 speaker-test 1.0.11rc2 Playback device is surround51 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 64 to 16384 Period size range from 16 to 16384 Periods = 4 Buffer time size 2525 To choose buffer_size = 16384 To choose period_size = 4096 was set period_size = 4096 was set buffer_size = 16384 0 - Front Left 4 - Center 1 - Front Right 3 - Rear Right 2 - Rear Left 5 - LFE Last problem is a question of how can I restart alsa in fedora core 5? It used to be in /etc/rc.d/init/alsasomething but I can't find any kind of script there anymore. Now if and when my alsa hangs, the only way to deal with the situation is to reboot the pc. This is too WinME solution. How can I reboot alsa? Could we get the script back where it should be? Thanks for your time and patience. hopey
