Ok who's the genious that knows how to get proper alsa 6 channel sound with my nforce2 on board audio...

I'm at wits end and just want my speakers to all work.

Heres my .asoundrc its basically all from a post on the ALSA project site.



### .asoundrc for nforce2 apu


pcm.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "nforce"
}

pcm.nforce {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 44100
}
}

ctl.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}

If you need anything else, I know my way around pretty well so just ask.

Thanks for even reading this far.

If your're connecting through coax or optical than this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=553082&postcount=5

Else, what does your mixer look like (i.e. options switches) and what's the name of the mixer.
