Hi all I am running a biostar tforce 6100 on fedora 6: x86_64
it has built in sound on the mobo:
mcp51 for 6channel sound.

I have alsa working and all 6channels play now with:
speaker-test -c6 -Dplug:surrond51 -t wav

I would like to get xmms and mplayer to have all 6channels also right now they only play 2 channels.

I found on another forum someone with the mcp51 and they were told to add .asoundrc to /home
I tryed it here it is :

# Duplicate an stereo source to the rear speakers
# Sets correct loudness level
# Rears provides ambient sound
pcm.simsurround40 {
type route
slave {
pcm 'hw:0,0'
channels 4
}
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.0.2 0.75
ttable.1.3 0.75
}

# Duplicate an stereo source to center and rears speakers
# Sets correct loudness level for each channel
# Center provides vocals and centers the stage
# Rears provides ambient sound
pcm.simsurround50 {
type route
slave {
pcm 'hw:0,0'
channels 6
}
ttable.0.0 0.9
ttable.1.1 0.9
ttable.0.2 0.75
ttable.1.3 0.75
ttable.0.4 0.5
ttable.1.4 0.5
ttable.0.5 0.0
ttable.1.5 0.0
}

ctl.simsurround40 {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.simsurround50 {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.ch51dup {
slave.pcm surround51
slave.channels 6
}


I then went into xmms and tryed putting:
simsurround50
in the device and restarted xmms
the sound skipped but was playing on all 6 channels?
any help or ideas
thanks
