SoundBlaster Live 5.1 ALSA 5.1 speaker configuration
I’ve finally figured out the cryptic alsamixer to configure ALSA properly for use with my SoundBlaster Live 5.1 and my 5.1 speaker setup. I think a recent update has made this work properly because I’ve intermittently played with alsamixer over the years I’ve been using Linux, and I’ve never been able to get it to work properly. Though, today I can finally announce that it does. The following configuration, when pasted into your /etc/asound.state file (remember to backup your existing one first!) will hopefully “just work” — no further configuration necessary. It’s advisable to use your physical volume knob to adjust the overall volume level as I would not recommend playing with the software volume levels.
File’s here: asound.conf
