Feeling very chuffed with myself. Solved my audio problem

[Lino]

Well as you all know I recently installed Ubuntu 8.04 the normal 32bit version. In the past to duplicate the audio through all of speakers I merely edited .asoundrc
however this time it would not work. Nope no matter what I tried, but a few moments ago I cracked it.

I did the following

1) Added this code to the .asoundc "its an improvement from my old file"

pcm.!dmix {
type plug
slave {
pcm surround51
channels 6
}
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
slave.channels 6
route_policy duplicate
}

2) Edited Gstreamer properties and set default to Alsa and not Pulse.

3) In the sound options, I also set Alsa as default for everything.

Blow me it works, I now get my Mp3's played on all my 5.1 speaker setup

Good job.

My favourite thing about Linux is just how incredibly leet it makes you feel when you solve a problem with it.

That is very true, good thing though is that the amount of control is quite remarkable. Ya just figured out how to setup Amarok using mysql, damn I am enjoying this:D

I have my home server/router constantly pinging international domains and the moment the ping goes above 1000ms it switches to another adsl account. Also, whenever I fire up WoW, it sees which port I am connecting on and switches me over to my uncapped account.

With Linux, the possibilities are endless :D
