is there any way I can send a stereo signal to all channels on my 5.1 channel sound card? It's actually the onboard sound on an asus a7n8x-x mobo and I'm using the "versatile" output as a digital out going to my receiver. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm thinking I can map the sounds in my .asoundrc file, but if I do that won't it mess with the sound when I play movies that actually have surround sound? Any help is appreciated...Thanks! If you have any questions about my setup don't hesitate to ask!

Run alsamixer and unmute "Duplicate Front", that should do the trick

Well, I'm getting somewhere...I got 5.1 channel output by setting the output device to "surround51" while using the NFORCE.conf file for my asound.conf file. But the output skips. It will play a second then stop for a second then play a second etc. Anyone have any ideas?
