i cant add any 5.1 channel mixer there.

search 3rd party plugins topics for "foo_channel_mixer" and try it pls... foobar afaik dont upmix stereo input to 5.1 output it has dsp plugins to do so. if you hear 5.1 output then there is something else what do the upmix (some software? soundcard drivers?... ) and not foobar itself.

One of my friend has an Live 5.1 card (not the CA103 chip but the older better Emu10k1) has somewhat alike problem.

He has popping and cracking sound when seeking. I have tried everything like you even use it on my own computer but it still happens. In the end I guess it has something to do with the buffer on the card so I switch his output plugin to kernel streaming and all work fine. So you can try kernel streaming and/or ASIO output on your sound card and see what happens.

Later the card stopped working all together so I took a look at it. One capacitor's fallen out and another one has bursted lol. After fixing that the card returned to normal. You should check the card too I think.

hello, thx you  with k streaming my problems are gone
is it normal that foobar now uses around 7~8 % of CPU with k k streaming?

Normally I don't use it. But when I tested it IIRC its CPU usage is normal like DirectSound not as high as yours. Maybe others with the same card can give you more informations.
