   Hi all,   
      
   I have two USB headsets, one is an HP Pavilion Gaming 600 and the other one     
   is a cheap headset from a JMTek LLC. Both claim to support virtual 7.1   
   surround sound, only on Windows 10 for the former, on GNU/Linux too for the   
   latter.   
      
   The latter is shown as the following with lsusb:   
   Bus 003 Device 117: ID 0c76:161f JMTek, LLC. USB PnP Audio Device    
   and according to the linux-hardware database, it's rather common.   
      
   My problem is that no matter how hard I tried under Ubuntu 24.04.1 and Fedora   
   36, I couldn't get the surround sound to work. Stereo and mic do work fine,   
   but I can't enjoy my movies in AC-3. Pavucontrol and alsamixer only show two   
   channels.   
      
   Has anyone faced a similar problem? What was your solution? At worst, do you   
   know a reasonably priced USB headset that can support at least 5.1 on    
   GNU/Linux? Thanks in advance.
