Ok, So i've always had trouble with enabling 5.1 in ubuntu.
Running 'alsamixer':
I have: Master, Heaphones, PCM, Front, Front Mi, Front Mi, Surround, Center
All are at 100%
Card:HDA Intel
Chip:Realtek ALC888 (This is my onboard sound, Its a dell studio, with 7.1 integrated sound)
Running "speaker-test -c6 -twav" I only get the front 2 speakers (Right/Left) making any noise. The others make no noise at all.
I have no other sound card to use as all my PCI slots are used up.
