Yeah, I should have been more specific. The issue is with center speaker: Speakers: I'm using a 5.1 analog speakers setup, which is connected to all 3 outputs of Audigy. There are 3 cables between amplifier and Audigy, one responsible for front speakers (l/r), one for rear speakers (l/r) and last one connected to 'digital output' is used by center/subwoofer. Sound is coming from player (stereo) to /dev/dsp. audio/emu10kx: Setting 'emuctrl mode analog' gave me sound on all (including center) outputs. With 'emuctrl set outX' I could control volume on front/rear/center. In 'digital mode' I got noise from center speaker. snd_emu10kx on CURRENT: By default I get sound from 4 speakers - front and rear. From center I get noise. I realize this setup has nothing to do with 5.1 sound but it's better to play music on 4 speakers, and sometimes the center one is useful too :) I hope this clarifies the issue.
