    [SOLVED] (F13) Surround Sound Problem. Built in sound card, blue port not workin

    Hello. I need help in setting a surround sound on my Fedora 13 desktop. I did
    some research and follow some guides, but my subwoofer and rear speakers still
    do not output any sounds but Front speaker is Ok.

    I'm using a built-in sound card on my ASUS motherboard. I have pulseaudio, kmix and alsamixer installed.

    lspci | grep device

    Code:
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
    01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV630/M76 audio device [Radeon HD 2600 Series]
    here's my /etc/asound.conf

    Code:
    #
    # Place your global alsa-lib configuration here...
    #
    
    @hooks [
    	{
    		func load
    		files [
    			"/etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf"
    		]
    		errors false
    	}
    ]
    
    
     pcm.pulse {
        type pulse
    }
    
    ctl.pulse {
        type pulse
    }
    
    # for 5.1 speakers
    pcm.ch51dup {
             slave.pcm surround51
             slave.channels 6
             type route
             ttable.0.0 1
             ttable.1.1 1
             ttable.0.2 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
    }
    here's /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

    touch /var/lock/subsys/local
    
    echo Setting 5.1 Channel volumes... 
    amixer -q set Master 100% unmute  
    amixer -q set PCM 40% unmute  
    amixer -q set Surround 100% unmute  
    amixer -q set Center 81% unmute  
    amixer -q set LFE 100% unmute  
    amixer -q set "Surround Jack Mode" "Shared"

    amixer -q set "Mic" 65% unmute  
    amixer -q set "Channel mode" "6ch"   
    amixer -q set "Center/LFE Down mix" mute   
    amixer -q set "Duplicate Front" mute

    I need to know how to ouput sound from Light Blue port. here's exactly what my built in sound card look like.



    Thanks in advance. My apology if I put this on wrong section.
