Thanks for getting me this far.

I've redone step 6 in pipewire. This gives me the new Alsa Loopback device. I hope I did it right. The alsa path points to the output that worked from earlier in this post. I also added 6 channels and specified the positions below. (FL,FR,LFE,RL,RR) I had to google what goes here because it...

also here is my audio hardware. I didn't even know Linux Mint was using pipewire.

I'm not convinced my devices are really correct. Here is the default output of alsamixer. I think the capture device here on the right is why camilla is only showing 2 channels on input.

Thank you. Done. But something is still not right. The gain on my levels is all messed up as soon as I applied this. 5 has high gain, 0-4 dropped off the scale. When I play music it sounds pretty much the same as always. Log files show: 2025-06-04 17:29:03.145859 INFO [src/bin.rs:781]...

OK I ran through every capture device to see what happens. Only the last few options give me the levels in the top left, but none of them are 5.1 just 2.0 regardless of the content I'm playing. I have 5.1 music like Rush - "A Farewell to Kings" or any movies in 5.1. plughw:CARD=acp,DEV=0: acp...

So something still isn't right. Nothing changes regardless of what capture device I select and the top left level bars are always dead. Log file is also giving errors I can't quite figure out.

Logs said It was a waste. I turned it off.

setup Mixer and Pipeline I'm listening to music as I type this, but the top right corner isn't doing anything. Are those bars supposed to be VU meters for each channel? Also the mute and volume slider do nothing.

OK - I think I got it now. Capture = hw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=0: Loopback, Loopback PCMDirect hardware device without any conversions Playback = hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=1: HD-Audio Generic, DENON-AVRHDMI Audio Output Nothing added to any of the other tabs and it works in that I hear music and roon...

Nothing plays now so this broke something. If I select the right in and out, will it play even if nothing is configured on the other tabs yet? For example, pipeline is blank. I haven't made it that far.

what about input?

I know. This is why my brain is melting.

In the desktop UI for controlling sound I'm using Audio Output: Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio Controller using the profile "Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI 2) Output" So, HDMI to AVR

I recently converted my Windows based HTPC to Linux Mint. Roon, Plex, netflix etc work great. I lost Dirac live as they don't support Linux and my attempts via Wine and bottles failed so far. I feel lost without it. I know how to make stereo convolution filters in REW and load them in roon, but...
