I've googled and googled, looked through tons of results, but I can't seem to get anything to work. I've looked into everything I can find, looked into pulseaudio along with alsa, and even OSS (But I can't find much on it, however I think that it might be the better way to go). I really don't know where to go here, but I really want virtual 7.1 audio like I had on Winderp$.
Logitech has their own gaming software on Winderp$ that does this excellently, but for obvious reasons this isn't helping my issue. I doubt wine would help, but if it would someone let me know. I really want a fix to this, and as long as it can be done, I'll do whatever it takes. Thank you for your time and answers.
Also, I do not believe this is a standard sterio device, as it's still ONLY using my front speakers on Linux, and whenever I do not have the Logitech Software installed on Winderp$. If it's only using my front two speakers (or at least front channels), then my device must have been made in a way to where it's borderline actually 7.1 and not entirely virtual. Also, running
speaker-test -c 8
Uses all channels properly in the proper positions except for LFE. I had to do a little configuring to get it to do this, but everything still thinks this is just a sterio device. I think this is proof enough that my request is possible.
Even if it was just virtual, I still want a way to fix it and get 7.1 back.
This is the result of lsusb -v:
