Can't get 4.1 working with ALSA and Intel card

Hello everybody,
My problem is simple, but I cannot find any solution for it.
I have Arch Linux 64 bits installed with ALSA and a Intel onboard sound card
I can get the audio working simply installing ALSA and unmutting the channels, but I get no sound at the rear speakers and the center speaker (subwoofer).
I run:
$ spearker-test -c 5
And all I have is sound at the 2 front speakers.
Looking at alsamixer I only saw configuration for 2,4 and 6 channels. I am currently using the configuration for 4 channels.
I unmuted everything in alsamixer (playback) and nothing changed.
$ aplay -l

Anyone knows how to make it work? Thanks!

Thanks for the answer, tried this command, here is the output:
$ speaker-test -t wav -c 5 -D surround41
speaker-test 1.0.26
Playback device is surround41
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 5 channels
WAV file(s)
Broken configuration for playback: no configurations available: Invalid argument
Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument
Is there something needed to make this command run correctly?

Can't get suexec to work with apache and php

I want to enable php scripts to be executed by a php process that runs as the same user as the owner of the site. In my case I am just using userdir so anything under /home/username/public_html should be run as username. I have mod_suexec.so loaded in my httpd.conf file. In the apache docs it says that:
User directories:
Requests that are processed by mod_userdir will call the suEXEC wrapper to execute CGI programs under the userid of the requested user directory. The only requirement needed for this feature to work is for CGI execution to be enabled for the user and that the script must meet the scrutiny of the security checks above. See also the --with-suexec-userdir compile time option.
I think my file meets the security checks it mentions which are listed on the site: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/suexec.html So that makes me wonder about CGI execution being enabled for my user and how do I modify that. Is there anything else I need to change to enable it?

How can one get java to work with SnowLeopard and FF13

SInce the install of the most recent Java update (9) for SnowLeopard (10.6.8) Firefox 13 simply advises that there is no plugin installed. The behavior the update indicates will take place (where the web page provides the option to enable the plugin) simply has never presented itself. At this point, java is simply no longer available on a Mac running SNowLeopard and using Firefox. Is there a solution to this other than upgrading to Lion?

Yes. However, do note that FF is only on the machine for testing, I don't use it, preferring Safari. Any further issues with FF are best answered at http://support.mozilla.org/

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?

The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent. This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account. Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent. This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account. Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

You have to look at the email protocol being used. the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

How can I get Lion to work with label printer- Brother QL 570 or Dymo 450 Turbo?

I can't get Lion to work with label printers, either Brother QL 570 or Dymo Turbo 450. I want to uninstall Lion and use Snow Leopard unless there is a way to make Lion work with these devices. Any ideas?

Dymo has released new drivers since Lion came out. Have you downloaded and
installed them from the Dymo website?
Some people have said that their Dymo label printers were set to off line by Lion, but
worked fine after going to Print & Scan, selecting the Dymo printer, and making sure
it was active/on-line. I had to do that with my Dymo 450 Label Writer.
I cannot offer any tips about Brother, but you may wish to check their website
for latest drivers.

My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad. BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

The airplay on my i pad works with music and pictures but I cannot get it to work with safari and mirroring. Can someone help me to get things working? Thanks!

As an IT person, I can put my hands up to the same difficulty. Then on double clicking on Home button, find AirTV symbol amongst Music control
Solved my problem having spent hours looking for a complicated answer. Well done Apple for hiding it so well.

I need help with ISIGHT! I can't get it to work with MSN!

HI,
My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
THANK YOU

Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.
