Surround 7.1 output

I would like to knows if its possible to assign the surround output to a bus and after that to a output.
The reason is my show are in a round theater and the audience are moving.
Sometime the L speaker is the center or the back one.
I have to make something like a matrix with the bus and the output.
Can you help me
Thanks everybody.

Thanks!  :LOL: - those were 2 of the url's I've been looking through (in addition to the alsa faq, some stuff on the ubuntu, gentoo and xbmc forums). 
I've setup an asound.conf and am about to give that a test. 
--edit--
Well, that didn't solve it.  I'll have to keep trying.  :-(
If anyone has managed to get surround sound working out of more than just the front 2 speakers, I'd love to hear how you did it.  ;-)
Mine is connected via digital, so it's beginning to look like I need to set spdif up somehow.
But... Now that I think about it, it 'should' be pretty easy since all I basically need is for it to force all raw audio out the fiber digital connection since the receiver actually handles all of the decoding (dang....it worked great in Ubuntu, now if I can just figure it out in Arch). LOL
Thanks!!

  • Surround encoder lowers output level of exported .wavs??

    I've been playing with the surround encoder for awhile now , in Audition 1.0 and the free trial version of 3.0.  I record and export 6-channel sessions as
    either interleaved wav or 6 mono wavs.  When I was using Audition 1.0, there was no change in channel level in the exported file versus the original recording level, i.e., if the 'Left front' channel peaks at 0dBFS during recording, so does the Left front channel of the exported file, when I re-open it in Audition or Audacity.
    But with Audition 3.0, something odd is happening.  All of the exported channels are -3dB or so compared to their original recording level!  I.e., a track that originally peaked at 0dBFS , peaks at about -3dB FS when I reopen it after export.
    I have checked that the output levels for the Surround Encoder and are all at max for each channel (and 0dB gain/cut for the master output slider).  I don''t see anything in the preference settings that would account for this,  I happens regardless of exporting as interleaved waved or 6 mono wavs.  It does NOT  happen if I record and save 2-channel audio in Edit View.
    Any ideas?  Did something about surround encoder export change  between Audition 1.0 and 3.0?

    No, but the mixer did. I haven't tried this, but if you go to Preferences>Multitrack and change the pan law default setting from -3dB center to L/R cut Log, the chances are that your mix will come out 3dB higher.

  • 5.1 Surround Sound only outputting from one speaker on macbook

    I have connected my old LG LH T360SE home cinema system to my white 13" macbook (late 2007) from the headphone jack via an audio Y cable into the RCA audio input on the back of the home cinema system. Unfortunately when playing movies via Plex, VLC or any other media player the sound only outputs through the front left speaker and sub-woofer. I checked that the other speakers are connected by perfoming a connection test in the product's setup and there is some background noise if you put your ear up against them. The 5 speakers work fine when playing a DVD on the integrated DVD player. Is there any settings on the macbook I need to change to make use of the full 5.1 surround sound?
    Thanks

    You'll need to use an optical cable to get 5.1 surround. So you'll also need a little optical->mini-optical converter (which allows you to plug it into the 3.5mm jack).

  • DDTS 100 capable of virtual surround on headphone outputs?

    I was wondering if the DDTS-100 is capable of virtual surround on the headphone outputs when input is Dolby Surround or DTS?

    It's a basic stereo downmix (or at least much more basic than say CMSS3DHeadphone). When headphones are plugged the 'Stereo' LED is always lit.

  • Surround/Multi-channel output

    Is there any way to use the Java Sound API (without any extensions/plugings etc) to play audio on a surround-system (e.g., a 5.1 capable soundcard)? If not, are there any Java API that provides this feature?

    You can play a sound in a surround-system. However, Java Sound API has some restrictions.
    1, It does not play multi-channel format.
    2, It does not support speaker channel assignment. That means you can not choose a certain speaker channel to play.
    So overall, it can play a sound format which is either one or two channels in a multi-channel system.

  • Can I get 5.1 Surround Sound from Mac to Apple TV?

    Hi,
    I have an iPad, iPhone and an Apple TV, and I love airplay, such a great feature!
    I'm thinking of replacing my desktop for a mac and I was wondering; if I had a 5.1 surround encoded video file on my mac, would I be able to push the whole screen to Apple TV through mirroring and still get the 5.1 sound output to my audio receiver and speaker setup?
    I'm NOT asking if I can airplay an mp4 encoded movie through iTunes at 5.1; I know I can already do that on my desktop and it works fine.
    What I'm looking for is the ability to simply mirror what's playing on the mac to my hdtv through Apple TV, while still retaining the full 5.1 surround mix and outputting it to my audio receiver (i.e. Without having to convert the file type and drag it or play it in iTunes).
    So before I take the plunge and spend over a grand on a mac, is this possible?
    If this isn't possible I will probably just get a Mac mini and plug it directly into my receiver via hdmi. I can't see any problems doing it that way (I hope!)
    Any info here would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your assistance, but I spent quite some time researching this before posting, and the post you link to (which I've already read) doesn't actually answer my question, that person is asking about his wireless speakers receiving individual sound channels through airplay. Other discussions, which I've also looked at, seem inconclusive.
    I was really posting in the hopes of finding anyone who had personal experience of trying to play a fullscreen, 5.1 surround video file using airplay mirroring from their mac to their Apple TV, and if they received 5.1 sound.
    Thanks again for your help though.

  • Surround Mixing - Can't enable 7.1

    I am playing with surround mixing for the first time. When I select 'Surround' as the output of my channel the 'Sound Panner' appears and allows me to write surround automation to my track.
    It defaults to a 5.1 panner, but when I go into 'Preferences/Audio/Surround/Input' and select 'Show as: 7.1 (3/4.1)' as that what I'm interested in mixing in the 'Sound Panner' still appears as a 5.1 version in the channel strip...
    Even if I assign surround to a new channel. Or start a new session with these defaults I can't get the 'Sound Panner' to appear as 7.1.
    Any thoughts as to why..?
    Many Thanks,

  • 2012 Mac Mini - Using multi-output device?

    I'm trying to get my Mini to output sound over HDMI and the headphone jack. This question has been asked before, but the answer wrongly claimed OSX didn't support it. The Audio MIDI Setup program (in the Utilities folder) does in fact let you set up a multi-output device that uses the headphone and hdmi out. But when I try to output sound with that device, I don't get anything.
    Before I bought this computer, the Apple Store drone claimed this multi-output was possible. But this wouldn't be the first time I've talked to a complete idiot there.

    Some more updates:
    using multi-output and having the line out set as master prevents 5.1 surround from being output on HDMI, which is fine for my use. When I have something plugged into the headphone jack (in my case wireless outdoor speakers) the settings app won't even allow the settings app to choose HDMI as the audio output device, which is also likely why HDMI can't be master in the MIDI app.
    So to get 5.1 surround back for movies I need to unplug whatever's in the headphone jack and change the output device from the multi-output option to HDMI. It's sad my 6 year old PS3 handles this more elegantly and sensibly but at least I don't have to take back my Mini now

  • Surround sound with Venturer 5.1 surround system with converter jack?

    Hi, i need help.. I have a sound blaster x-fi extreme sound card and i can't seem to get surround sound out of it. i have a surround system that outputs two rca jacks (red for right and white for left) and i have a jack similar to this?to convert it to a 3.5mm jack to plug into my sound card. when i plug it in, it doesn't recognize the surround sound and it doesn't play on the back two speakers.

    Hi Andrew,

  • Pulseaudio rapidly automatically switches output ports

    I have been having this issue for quite a long time now. When louder sound plays I hear choppy output. When that happens, I can see that in pavucontrol -> Output devices -> "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" -> "Port:" selection rapidly switches between Headphones and Analog output. When output is loud, it selects Analog output and when it's more silent, it switches to Headphones. Since happens very fast and because "Analog output" and "Headphones" have different output levels, I get choppy sound. So how do I make pulseaudio not switch between ports? I am thankful that pulseaudio cares about my ears, but I'd prefer if it didn't.
    One solution is to set both "Headphones" and "Analog Stereo" to same level, but I don't think it's an elegant solution. Another way to stop this is to set output less than ~80%, but this isn't acceptable either.
    I use headphones btw, and default output device Port is "Headphones" in pavucontrol.
    P.S. Issue also described here.

    OK I got this problem back, it happens with rear port as well.
    In pavucontrol -> Configuration tab I have 2 controllers:
    "High Definition Audio Controller", which I guess is my nvidia card output which I don't use anyways, and It doesn't do anything when select it
    "Built-in Audio", which I guess is motherboard's ports, and it has the following profiles:
    Analog Stereo Duplex
    Analog Stereo Output
    Analog Stereo Input
    Off
    With these profiles happens exactly what I have described in original post.
    Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output + Analog Stereo Input
    Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output
    With these profiles, I still get exact same cracking audio, however in "Output Devices" tab a new "Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958)" appears, below normal "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo", AND the "Port" Selection does NOT change.
    chancho wrote:instead of muting a port, can you disable the port in the pavucontrol->configuration->profile ?
    You mean set "Profile" to Off? I tried that, same result.
    eeg wrote:Under pavucontrol->configuration->profile, instead of selecting Analog Stereo Output, use Analog Surround 4.0 Output.
    I have no Surround 4.0 Ouptput in the menu.
    Any direction what to try next would be appreciated.

  • Creative Sound Blaster ZxR Optical s/pDIF Surround Recording

    I just downloaded and installed Audacity for Windows version 2.x.x (the latest Audacity version).
    I'm recording my xbox 360 game play sound and possibly some OTA Antenna receiver Dolby 5.1 Surround through a Toslink optical cable input on the daughter card of the SB ZxR sound card.
    I'm using an Intel Core i7 2600 in an Asus p8p67 deluxe running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 using the Creative Labs Sound Blaster ZxR.
    It works fine for Xbox 360 dashboard System Settings, Console, Digital Audio, set to Stereo (2 channel sound), but does not when xb360 is set for Dolby Digital 5.1 output since the Audacity drop down list box for the recording device has only the options for Stereo or Mono--even when 5.1 Surround is being output by the xb360.
    When the incoming audio stream of 5.1 surround is recorded by audacity, the sampled sound is a huge amount of loud almost white noise of random digital static sound.
    What audio device capabilities enumeration is being used to determine if incoming AC3 multichannel digital optical signals are more than stereo since this stream could, in theory, change on the fly depending on the program material being sent by the source device?
    Is this the fault of the sound card driver from Creative Labs and is being reported improperly to MS Windows intermediate level device driver layers, that are in turn reported to audacity in its enumeration of the device's input stream contents?
    To see the physical appearance of the Creative Labs Sound Blaster ZxR DBpro daughter card with its gray output Toslink female socket and its black input Toslink socket, do a Google image search as follows:
    "sound blaster zxr" optical in dbpro "daughter card"
    http://goo.gl/ewO6ha
    Is there any way to circumvent this sad state of affairs as a temporary work around for this problem with an interim software source code revision?
    Could a software layer or function be added in audacity to parse the incoming data stream to determine the streams' characteristics (possibly on the fly -- in real time)?
    When in the Creative Labs SB ZxR software control for mixer, etc, I have the settings for the card sometimes set to "listen to this device" for the Optical Toslink input port, and the sound coming out of the Speaker Outputs does not get sent to the Optical Output Toslink port to go to my Dolby digital audio receiver--my default Windows sound device--so that I cannot hear any of the supposed input audio stream at all.
    Why is this effective pass through functionality not working?
    I have two or more Hauppauge ComputerWorks High Definition Video capture devices with Toslink optical inputs, and they work fine to capture higher level multichannel AC3 optical streams.
    What is wrong with the Creative Labs Soundblaster ZxR recording capability for such streams?
    Can the driver be updated to fix these problems?
    I have posted a few hours ago on the Audacity software's web forums to see if anyone there has any answers as to what can be done and what is happening and what is at fault in this process...
    http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewto...p?f=46&t=84846

    I noticed the following when I more closely examined the SB ZxR Mixer settings...
    The Toslink / optical s/pDIF input levels, even when an AC3 surround 5.1 channel stream is being input displays level control sliders for only Left and Right channels, when there should be 6 channels.
    Creative Labs Dolby is improperly being handled within both their driver and application software for the sound card, or the card itself is designed NOT to handle properly multichannel AC3 in a dynamic fashion as provided by the source optical device.
    Why?

    Did you ever figure this out?  I am in the same situation and cannot figure out how to refer to specific ports on the same motherboard.
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … ont.2Frear looks promising.  However I forget whether one of my cords is plugged in to the rear jack or the center jack, and moving my desktop to look is a little involved.  Oh well, next time the need arises I will experiment further.

  • Xorg Nvidia and blender

    Hi all, I'm having issues with my Nvidia 8400gs card on my up2date arch system. Im using Gnome 3.4 (fallback mode, ie not gnome-shell) and xorg-server 1.12.1-1
    Using Nouveau drivers everything works like a charm except blender, which crashes from time to time.
    I would love it if I could stick to nouveau! but from what I read its not recommended for intensive blender use
    so im trying nvidia's closed drivers
    but...
    Using the propietary nvidia driver (nvidia 295.49-1 and nvidia-beta 302.07-1) I can work flawlessly in blender, except that Blender freezes for a few seconds when closing it. Some times its a few seconds, and sometimes I have to reboot because it takes so long.
    After the "freezing" i see this in Xorg.0.log:
    (EE) NVIDIA(0): Error recovery failed.
    (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
    this happens with both LTS kernel (linux-3.0.31-1-lts) and  linux-3.3.5-1
    so, I've been trying the nvidia-275xxx driver but i see that not supported by Xorg anymore.
    Xorg.0.log
    ================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================
    [ 18.504] This server has a video driver ABI version of 12.0 that this
    driver does not officially support. Please check
    [url]http://www.nvidia.com/[/url] for driver updates or downgrade to an X
    server with a supported driver ABI.
    =================================================================
    [ 18.504] (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check.
    and then the nvidia driver fails to loadat all.
    I hope I dont have to downgrade X to make blender work!
    any directions??
    I paste here some more of Xorg.0.log with some comments on what triggered some parts.
    thanks in advance for any tips!!

    Thanks for that!
    OK, I've made some progress, or actually "regresions"
    I've found this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/post.php?tid=136030 where the workaround is downgrading to nvidia-285.xx
    I had to try a couple of combinations and finally made nividia-285work,  sort of . The issue while closing blender seems to have gone, but I messed something with xorg or gnome since I'm getting an error in gdm login (i'm trying to find out the error) and the all windows decorations are gone. And had a complete crash once (reset button only option)
    will keep on searching...
    update:
    this combination seems to work!
    nvidia 285.05.09-3

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro - GigaWorks 7.1 - Tracktor DJ Studio - Setup help ple

    I am trying to work out the best way to configure the following components so I can mix 2 tunes - listen to the mix on one channel and the incoming song on the headphones.
    SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
    GigaWorks 7.
    Tracktor DJ Studio
    Currently with the Gigaworks connected to the Audigy and the headphones connected into the External IO Hub - selecting any combination of channels in Traktor to become master or headphone yields all tunes being played through speakers and headphones.
    Reading the spec on the Audigy it appears I can use Line out on the soundcard itself to connect the headphones direct - but with the Gigaworks requiring all 3 line outs - how should i then best connect the speakers?
    The Traktor instructions indicate that this config is possible using a multichannel soundcard - which this is.
    I've attempted config in Traktor using all of the following Audio Devices:-
    SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO [ECCO]
    SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96 [ECCO]
    Creative ASIO
    DS SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [ ECCO]
    No luck with any of them.
    Im obviously not understanding something - and im sure im not the first person to attempt this.
    Any help appreciated.

    I think what you're missing is that the headphone out is really connected to the same signal as the front speakers out. The assumption is that you're either going to be listening to the headphones or to the speakers. Tracktor can probably use the soundcard channels independently, but anything directed to the headphones also goes to the front speaker output. I believe you can set things up so plugging in the headphones will mute the speakers, but that doesn't help the front speakers play a different signal than the headphones.
    I don't think there's a connection setup which you can use both for Tractor and for 7. listening. You can probably get Tractor to send the output you want to hear on your headphones to line out 2 and the mixed signal to line out . That would mean connecting the headphones to what is normally the surround left/right output, which you'd need to disconnect from the speakers while you're doing this.
    If you end up trying to rig up switching to help you go back and forth, using 4 Sony-type camcorder cables for line out 2 and 3, and 2 stereo minijack to RCA cables will probabably be helpful because it will be a lot easier to get RCA-connector switching than 4-pole minijack switching.
