I have FC4 on Intel D865G chipset. It got on-board audio with 6 channel
capability.
Under Linux I unable to get
sample<http://download.microsoft.com/download/winmediatech40/Utility/1.0/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/6channel.exe>(and
other) 6 channel sound files to show full functioning of audio system.
All sound works in 2 channel mode. Kmix provides a switch for "spread stereo
to surround speaker" but that is not 5.1 surround.
 I check Intel site for linux audio drivers - but only redhat versions are
listed.
http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/bf/bf_drive.htm
 Can someone please tell
1. If it is a must then which version of Intel driver meant for redhat will
work with FC4?
2. What settings / combination in ALSA etc. will make sound system work in
5.1 channel mode?
 I have latest ALSA, kde, xmms, mplayer, xine, and kernels (2.6.12-1.1456)
rpms installed.
Thanks
