<pre>Hello,
I have an USB M-Audio sound device : M-Audio Fasttrack Ultra.
When I type the command : pacmd list-cards
index: 2
name: <alsa_card.usb-M-Audio_Fast_Track_Ultra-00>
driver: <module-alsa-card.c>
owner module: 8
properties:
alsa.card = "1"
alsa.card_name = "Fast Track Ultra"
alsa.long_card_name = "M-Audio Fast Track Ultra at
usb-0000:23:00.3-1, high speed"
alsa.driver_name = "snd_usb_audio"
device.bus_path = "pci-0000:23:00.3-usb-0:1:1.0"
sysfs.path =
"/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.1/0000:23:00.3/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/sound/card1"
udev.id = "usb-M-Audio_Fast_Track_Ultra-00"
device.bus = "usb"
device.vendor.id = "0763"
device.vendor.name = "Midiman"
device.product.id = "2080"
device.product.name = "M-Audio RunTime DFU"
device.serial = "M-Audio_Fast_Track_Ultra"
device.string = "1"
device.description = "M-Audio RunTime DFU"
module-udev-detect.discovered = "1"
device.icon_name = "audio-card-usb"
profiles:
input:multichannel-input: Multicanal Entrée (priority 1,
available: unknown)
output:analog-surround-71: Analog Surround 7.1 Sortie (priority
700, available: unknown)
output:analog-surround-71+input:multichannel-input: Analog
Surround 7.1 Sortie + Multicanal Entrée (priority 701, available: unknown)
off: Éteint (priority 0, available: unknown)
active profile: <output:analog-surround-71+input:multichannel-input>
sinks:
alsa_output.usb-M-Audio_Fast_Track_Ultra-00.analog-surround-71/#1: M-Audio
RunTime DFU Analog Surround 7.1
sources:
alsa_output.usb-M-Audio_Fast_Track_Ultra-00.analog-surround-71.monitor/#2:
Monitor of M-Audio RunTime DFU Analog Surround 7.1
ports:
multichannel-input: Multichannel Input (priority 0, latency
offset 0 usec, available: unknown)
properties:
analog-output: Sortie analogique (priority 9900, latency offset
0 usec, available: unknown)
properties:
So, for outputs I can only choose between Analog-surround-7,
Analog-surround-71+input and off
If I list the alsa devices, I get :

So for my Fasttrack Ultra, i can choose between much more profiles :
Front , Surround 2.1, surround 4.0, Surround 4.1, Surround 5.0, Surround 5.1,
Surround 7.1
It's a real problem for common use, like watching surround movies, cause I have
only 2 speackers (L+R). As only selectable choice, 7.1 is selected, the
differents chanels are sent to differents speackers, and I miss most of the
sounds.
So I beg developpers to correct it, and make every alsa profiles detected and
selectable.
Thank you.
I you need more info, I will give them (as long as I am able to do it)</pre>
