Ubuntu Tip of The Day - How to setup the surround speakers (5.1 and others) with ALSA

Linux, Ubuntu Linux Tips Add comments

Want to setup Surround sound in Linux?

First edit the following file by opening a terminal window and type:Linux Sound

gedit ~/.asoundrc

Enter the following section:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm “surround51″
slave.channels 6
route_policy duplicate
}

This will allow to play the surround output and duplicate the stereo output to all 6 channels (not only front ones).

Would you like to buy me a beer?

    Just figured I’d post the fact that my copy of Ubuntu came 5.1 compatable straight out of installation. But, I suppose there’s always those who weren’t so fortunate. Good job with the tutorial.
