Hello, I bought a CSL-Computer 7.1 USB sound card, and a 5.1 speakers for my raspberry. I use OSMC and I have tried all the sound settings but it doesn't work well. It sounds with mp3 and videos with 2 channels. But with movies with sound 5.1 I don't get seldom to heard the voices. It sounds very very low, but the effects sound high.
Please, could you help me?
PS: Sorry, I made a mistake with the adequated forum. I move the message to the right forum: Hardware.

I discovered that from centre speaker sound subwoofer, and from subwoofer sounds the centre. It happens in Raspberry, Linux and Windows.

Can you be more particular about exactly which card you have, and how it is all wired up?

And merged threads.
Are you connecting the sound card to the speaker system with spdif or analog?

ok googling seems to show it has analog inputs only. That means you'll need a cable wired differently, either bought or made with a soldering iron!

Well, in this moment I found a physical solution, and it worked. I have used two minijack/rca converter cables and I swapped the both channels (lfe and center; orange socket).

Hi buddy.
I bought exactly the same hardware and I have a home theater 5.1. I would like to connect to the Raspberry Pi 4.
I'm totally lost. Can you explain how it's working for you?
Thanks and regards
EDIT: I figured out. Just plugin the sound card into Raspberry Pi 4 running LibreElec it worked. I had to select the audio card in System/System and enable passthrough
