The surround sound 5.1 is playing fine except channel 0 (front-left) is playing on the woofer. I have a Terratec Aureon fun - CMI8738-MC6. I can redirect the output on 0 to right-front successfully using .asoundrc and "ttable.0.1 1". I have gotten desperate and have tested this card in Windows and was able to get it working right there. I have been using the file www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.wma through mplayer and speaker-test to to test the setup. I am using pulseaudio, but I reconfigured my system without pulseaudio and get the same result. Any help would be much appreciated.

That is massive overkill. I'd just stick with your distro's packages rather than recompiling everything and disabling PA support. The speaker test using the names surround* etc. do not use pulseaudio anyway. > Under pulseaudio speaker-test gives error messages when surround40 and > surround51 is specified. This will only be true if pulseaudio daemon is running and has the device open. Much easier to just run speaker-test as: pasuspender -- speaker-test -D surround51 ... than recompiling everything :) But ultimately it seems to be an alsa problem.

The card has 5 analog jacks: 1. Mic 2. Line-In 3. Line Out 1 (Front) / Headphone Out 4. Line Out 2 (Rear) 5. Line Out 3 (Center/Sub) Plus a Digital-In and a Digital-out. I have my speakers connected to 3, 4 and 5. I will retest the card in windows although it worked last time, but it is a while since I have heard sound from the left speaker.

I retried it in Windows and now the left front sound is clearlly coming out the center speaker and the left speaker is dead there too. A hardware problem! The left-front speaker sits on the table right next to where the cats lie. The cats have chewed up the cable - it was pretty flimsy to begin with. I am sorry to have bothered you, but I am very grateful for your help. I don't think I would have solved it so soon without your help.
