Q3A Sound - only front speakers working

[noob001]

Hi there!

Could you please help me to solve my problem?
I already posted it on the Software Support-forum, but there were no replies.

The problem is this:

I got a 5.1 soundcard, a 5.1 speaker setup and I also edited my .asoundrc, so that stereo is upmixed to all channels.

BUT: when I play Q3A or RTCW, there's only sound from both front speakers.
so, do this games not use ALSA, or what?

How can i get sound from all speakers? (NO SURROUND, just the same as on the front channels )

PLEASE HELP THE NOOB!!!

thanks for your replies!

try running it with the following command:

artsdsp -m <game-command>

Note: I've forgotten the name of the Q3A command so change "<game-command>" with the correct one.
