Purely out of curiousity I’d just like to know what the improvements in Ubuntu and any particular reason why you would recommend changing OS. Theres a lot of contradictory information out there on the net.

Is the OS compatible with most hardware and software products and what gains could I get from the switchover?

But my sample 5.1 PCM-WAV files (not DTS) get jumbled up in the channels, when playing through "Movie Player". My ALSA mixer setting is 6channel and so is the "Movie Player" preference setting. Any ideas welcome. The test ” speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav” works perfectly.

Saving my music anyway. :) I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 x86-64 with latest updates and did this: Added some sliders to the soundmixer: -Rightmousebutton on the volume setting in the taskbar -> Open Volume Control, Preferences, tick the boxes there Set every option in System -> Preferences -> Sound to ALSA (the non-specific one: "ALSA - Advanced... Architecture") And that was it, sounds working like a charm now, bass and everything. Thanks a lot! You’re a hero! Saving my music anyway. :)

I think surround sound systems give us cinema experience in our own home. That's why it becomes ever more popular and affordable. Great !
