I'm trying to set my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(58, 58, 58); font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; ">VIA VT1708B based 8-channel sound card so it outputs stereo. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(58, 58, 58); font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(58, 58, 58); font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; ">I'm running Mythbuntu 8.10 on in a room where I only use the stereo speakers on my TV for sound. Unfortunately, when I setup my machine, I was only able to make it work by plugging a stereo 1/8" - dual RCA cable into what seems to be either the center or front channels (I'm not sure which; though the music seems to overpower dialog, so I suppose that would suggest the front channels). As you may imagine, the sound quality is rarely what I'd like it to be. </span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(58, 58, 58); font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(58, 58, 58); font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; ">Sounds issues are something I've rarely had in the past, and as a result, something I know little about. what I'd like to know is, would it be possible to somehow force the soundcard to output stereo sound on either 2 of the 8 channels I have, or, I suppose I would be just as happy if I had 4 left and 4 right channels (I'd only use one of each either way). I use this machine 99% of the time as a myth frontend, but I occasionally play some games and/or music from outside of Myth, and I'd prefer a solution that would be universal, not specific to myth. I would think that one of the configurations I've described would be possible, but I can't seem to find where I would configure these settings. Any ideas? </span></div>
