Hey everyone, I installed Snow Leopard Retail a while ago and everything is working fine. Except my sound... fassl helped me to get all five outputs to appear in Snow Leo with VoodooHDA and all outputs work correctly in the Audio-MIDI-Setup. I configured the outputs as 5.1 surround device and sound comes out of the right speakers. Now the problems start: When I listen to music (or something else using stereo sound), the sound comes out of the rear speakers. It won't come out of the front speakers, doesn't matter whether I switch the outputs in the Audio-MIDI-Setup, the sound keeps coming out of the rear speakers (black connector). Temporary, I put my green speaker connector into the black connector at the sound card and the black at the green one. Is there a way to switch the outputs without switching the cables?
Second problem: I have no volume control with the configured 5.1 device. I can regulate the volume from every single output but not with the outputs combined to one device.
Does anyone have a solution for my problems?

Edit: Wow, forgot my VoodooHDA.kext! Should've attached it. It has a modded Info.plist. Also attached my codec dump.

i could cry! trust me! you solved my problem!!! i had only 2 channel out and now i have 6!!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
for your problem try using winamp with setted codecs for surrounding... it worked for me under windows!
just a question... do you know how to modify voodoohda to obtain 8 channel? i have 7.1 biggrin.gif

ok i see winamp doenst work in osx
and i have the problem you have...
but...
i saw that in midi config it's impossible to change the predef device for SYSTEM out...
as you i have 3 x unknown devices (3 couples of out... 2 front 2 rear sub and center)
you can create a 5.1 adding the 3 devices
but you cant change the device unknown as the predef for system... you see the face of finder ?
i cant change that...


edit: maybe is it possible to edit kext so that it create just one devices with 6 out? it wold easier to configure andio...
