Hi, thanks for the reply anyway, you're the only one. Think the rest of
the world (including me) does a worse job at email than you.

Got it up and running now with 0.9 (!). Took some time and some luck.
With alsamixer defaulting to digital output and therfore only enabling
two speakers. It would have been easier for me if nothing would have
worked at all. Just did a lot of clicking and now I have 5.1 sound
surrounding me :-)))

Kmix for me, kinda did not do the job well. It only sees half of the
relevant ports and has no control for front/rear audio. I installed
gamix (which is for gnome) from scratch. That kinda does everything you
can do. It also makes it very possible to install some mixer settings
that will not produce any sound at all (especially if you start messing
/ mixing around with the pcm settings. You probably send your sound to
/dev/null or so).
Cheers,
Jord
