~/.asoundrc

# 2008-11-15
 #
 # This .asoundrc will allow the following:
 #
 # - upmix stereo files to 7.1 speakers.
 # - playback real 7.1 sounds, on 7.1 speakers,
 # - allow the playback of both stereo (upmixed) and surround(7.1) sources at the same time.
 # - use the 6th and 7th channel (side speakers) as a separate soundcard, i.e. for headphones
 #   (This is called the "alternate" output throughout the file, device names prefixed with 'a')
 # - play mono sources in stereo (like skype & ekiga) on the alterate output
 #
 # Make sure you have "8 Channels" and NOT "6 Channels" selected in alsamixer!
 #
 # Please try the following commands, to make sure everything is working as it should.
 #
 # To test stereo upmix :      speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -twav
 # To test surround(5.1):      speaker-test -c6 -Dplug:dmix6 -twav
 # To test surround(7.1):      speaker-test -c6 -Dplug:dmix8 -twav
 # To test alternative output: speaker-test -c2 -Daduplex -twav
 # To test mono upmix:         speaker-test -c1 -Dmonoduplex -twav
 #
 #
 # It may not work out of the box for all cards. If it doesnt work for you, read the comments throughout the file.
 # The basis of this file was written by wishie of #alsa, and then modified with info from various sources by 
 # squisher. Svenstaro modified it for 7.1 output support.
