Linux 5.1 speaker surroundings - Yung Lean - 12-05-2013

Hello ,
So I use Linux and I have 5.1 speakers but only 2 of them works on Linux. WIndows drivers don't work on Linux so is there any other way how to make all the speakers work?

Okay not much information there....

What speakers? What Linux? What sound software? Have you tried looking at your mixer configuration?

I have Creative speakers it has 5 speakers and a bass. To run all the speakers on windows I need to install drivers. But on Linux Mint I cannot install windows drivers. So only 2 speaker works. thats why I'm asking is there any other way to make all the speakers work on Linux.

1) Edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf (if using PulseAudio) & change default-sample-channels = 6
2) Open sound preferences and test, remembering to mute unused outputs (like for example HDMI).
