While I don't have any surround stuff myself, I do see that sound preferences allows for multiple profiles for a single device.

Maybe there is a profile for surround devices to enable or disable the full complement of speakers? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
