In this case this is expected behavior. Multi-channel playbeck requires you to play different sound streams into one or more dsp devices, like (I use madplay from ports): madplay -o /dev/dsp0 somemp3file ##in first window / VT madplay -o /dev/dsp1 someothermp3file ##in second window / VT you may need to use pulseaudio (or other channel splitter) from ports to play real multichannel files (I didn't test it yet). I'll try to add more info about this in man page. > If I add=20 > SND_EMU10KX_MULTICHANNEL_DISABLED to kernel, the sound state=20 > is the same for the analog jack in digital or analog mode.

And -- did this patch solve your previous 'noise' problems? Yuriy.
