9.04 (works better for me than 9.10) has only 2 speakers

Asked by Edward

I upgraded to 9.10 once and it recognized all 6 of my speakers, but other things didn't work as well as in 9.04, so I went back to 9.04, but with 9.04 I only have 2 speakers. Please help.

My computer is a Gigabyte iDNA GA-K8N51GMF-9 with Onboard Audio ALC880 High Def Audio, supports 2/4/6/8 channels

See if this helps.

Open a terminal and type: sudo nautilus

Click on file system and navigate to: etc/pulse

You want to open this: daemon.conf (might want to make a copy of the original just in case)

Once open, go down to the bottom of the config file and look for this line: ; default-sample-channels = 2

Change the default number from 2 to 6 and save all changes and then reboot.

After you reboot you can test your sound settings with this: speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav

Hope that helps, good luck.

Can you help with this problem?
