Salutations,
I recently hooked up a 5.1 surround sound receiver to my Haswell setup via HDMI. I used the sound manager in gnome to set the system to output 5.1 surround sound. However, while testing each individual speaker using the gnome sound settings, I found that front speakers were echoing content to rear speakers (with a small delay). I also noticed that if I set the fade to rear, I would lose all front speaker output. Moving the fade to the front reproduced the echo again. This is noticeable in any 5.1 audio I play as well. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

Are you using PulseAudio? If so, try looking at the sound settings with pavucontrol, the official PulseAudio configuration utility (in the package extra/pavucontrol). Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly, the Gnome sound manager and pavucontrol are different programs. In my experience, I have had the best luck using pavucontrol to configure sound. --Kyle
