Hi there,
im hoping someone here can help me with this issue im having, im a fairly new linux user and a bit of a novice when going into advanced configs.
I am trying to setup my HTPC using ubuntu 11.04 with a ATI 5450 using a HDMI into a 5.1 Yamaha receiver, then onto the TV. I have disabled the onboard sound card.
I am able to get sound from the front 2 speakers only
The issue i have at the moment is that i can only select 2 channel stereo as a profile
aplay -l output
alsamixer not showing much
Everything is working fine in windows so i know the hardware is capable.
Im not sure if it makes a difference but the graphics drivers detect my display as a LG TV (which is 2.0 stereo) and not the receiver so not loading up the other profiles?
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Craig
