If you haven't already, try launching alsamixer<br>
from a terminal and see if there is a 'stereo' or '5.1' or '7.1'<br>
option that you can toggle. The front L+R channels would normally be<br>
the same channels used for stereo mode so you shouldn't need to move<br>
your plug. Report back if this is your fix.<br>

I've tried this in the past, and just to be sure, I just tried it
again. There doesn't seem to be a way to toggle this setting from
within ALSAMIXERGUI, Gnome Mixer, or the CLI version of alsamixer. I
would assume that at some level, there is a text file or two that I can
edit to change this setting, but the googles have done nothing to help
me, and I'm not sure where to look next. I apreciate the help, but I'm
afraid I've gotten no further. If there isn't a universal fix to this
problem, I'd be happy if I could at least make this work from within
Myth; is such a thing possible? Unfortunately, the vast majority of
sound problems I've seen discussed on this list and other areas concern
the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do, but the reverse of the
solutions I've seen so far do not help me. What can I do next? <br>

Thanks,<br>

<div>I think you can set up a decode matrix in asound.conf that will
do what you want. Take a look at some of the examples in the default
file.</div>

Josh, <br>
To set mythtv to 2 channels: In the frontend, go to
Utilities/Setup, Settings, General, then about 3 pages in is "Max Audio
Channels" Change that to "Stereo" and myth should downmix AC3 and DTS
properly for you. <br>
