Only can see Analog Stereo profile on surround sound headset

codencrazy · 2017-10-21 19:09:15

I have a 5.1 (and 7.1) compatible surround sound headset; previously, when I used to load it on Gentoo, on both their live cd and my custom kernel, the 5.1 and 7.1 surround profiles were available for me to select in KDE.
Now that I've switched back to Arch, I no longer have the 5.1 and 7.1 options, I only have the Analog Stereo option.

I have no clue how to fix this, I know udev is loading, and the card is picked up properly; I know the HD Audio kernel module is loaded, and I know the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 kernel modules are loaded. Am I missing another kernel module I'm not thinking of? Or is it something specific to the way systemd handles audio? (I'm fairly new to systemd, I didn't use systemd on Gentoo)

Not enough info, are you using pulseaudio? does it not have a 5.1 profile? What are the outputs of

aplay -L
pacmd list-cards #If you use pulseaudio

I am using pulseaudio

output of aplay -L is:

So you can see the profile shows up in there, its just not available in pulseaudio, as shown below, its missing in the pulse audio profiles from pacmd:

You might have to set default-sample-channels in your pulseaudio configuration
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … nd_systems

codencrazy · 2017-10-22 01:38:30

That's already done in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

default-sample-format = float32le
; default-sample-rate = 44100
; alternate-sample-rate = 48000
default-sample-channels = 8
; default-channel-map = front-left,front-right
