In the Fedora 11 I did the following, to get a sound 5.1:

echo ‘options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-dig’ >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf


echo ‘default-sample-channels = 6’ > ~/.pulse/daemon.conf


echo ‘default-channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-right,rear-left,front-center,lfe’ > ~/.pulse/daemon.conf


reboot

After reboot in

alsamixer -c0

switch Channels from 2ch to 6ch

It's all. I got sound 5.1 and pavumeter shows all 6 channels

But in Fedora 12, it does not work.. :confused:

After each reboot channel in "alsamixer -c0" are switched to 2ch
"panam" shows only alsa_input.pci-0000_00_08.0.analog-stereo | s16le 2ch 44100Hz | front-left,front-right
What's wrong? How to adjust a sound 5.1 in Fedora 12?

P.S.
Sorry for my english :)

Zotac 9300 Wi-Fi (PCB 01) (http://pden.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=145&category_id=15&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1)

Pc model? Not motherboard model.

Try so:

# gedit /etc/modprobe.conf

Add this line:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto 3stack-6ch

save and reboot.

Delete the ~/.pulse/daemon.conf that you created. Run gnome-volume-control , go to the Hardware tab, select your card in the list, and see if there's an Analog Surround option in the Profile: drop-down box which matches what you want to use.

In the device section only one item:

Internal Audio
1 Output / 1Input
Analog Stereo Duplex

In the profile only Digital Stereo and Analog Stereo, no any Surround items..

To Sagitter
options snd-hda-intel model=auto 3stack-6ch not work, I get alsa error

[Sagitter]

Erase file.
I'm regret. Don't have experience with FC12.

OK

After reboot I see in the alsamixer 2ch (with options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-dig)
In the gnome-volume-control only Strereo Items (PA setings by default)

If I
- switch Channels from 2ch to 6ch in alsamixer
- run pulseaudio -k
in gnome-volume-control I can see Surround Sound 5.1
It work's fine

One question: How to fix 6ch in alsamixer? After reboot always 2ch :(

[AdamW]

Seems like an ALSA bug. Can you file a bug on alsa-lib with information on the problem, and the output of alsa-info.sh --no-upload:

* right after booting up
* after changing to 6ch in alsamixer

Thanks!

Seems like an ALSA bug. Can you file a bug?
Sorry, where better to place this information?

Update:
I posted this Bug 531741 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531741) to bugzilla.redhat.com

Update 2:
Has solved a problem. After switch Channels from 2ch to 6ch necessary run

# alsactl store

Thanks to all! :)

Thanks, I'm following up on the bug report.
