I have googled, search, tried the surround51.conf as .asoundrc, but whatever I did, I didn't get 6 writable inputs in jack. The cmipci is built-in on an ASUS A7V333. If anyone with that configuration has managed to get 6 channels in jack, could that person kindly share his (or her) config with me? A RTFM with a hint to the Fine Manual would be appreciated too. A "dummies guide to how to get 6 channels to show up in qjackctl" would be the best. Thanks for your help in advance. Bye, J -- Jürgen A.
