OK, the card's not dead, at least I don't think it is. I got all four
speakers to work at the same time by fiddling with the mixer, and enabling
"3D Control - Switch", turning up "3D Control Sigmatel - Depth" to 67
(choices are 0, 33, 67, 100). Since the rears worked, I left "3D Control
Sigmatel - Rear Depth" at 0.
This can't be normal, as I never had to do that before. Any idea what
changed? I did boot with most peripherals (including the
speakers) disconnected; could that have an effect? Didn't think speakers
could be detected like that.
