| Hello.
I'd like to enable 5.1 sound under ALSA 1.0.13, but I can't.
The page on alsa.opensrc.org says to try
aplay -Dsurround51 wavfile
but it doesn't use the right soundcard (it tries on my first soundcard,
which is not 5.1-able).
How can I tell it to use my other soundcard instead of the 1st one?
Thanks.

Have you read the stuff about multiple sound cards at
http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards ? |

I've read the manpage, but I don't see anything relevant.
Any hint?

Yes, I have already read and used that to setup the system; the problem is,
the order of my cards is now set and I don't want to change it; surround51
is defined for the default card in share/alsa.conf, and I don't see how to
enable it for a card that is not the default.

You're asking how to select the sound card?
Use the -D switch. |
