hi again :) while playing a mix on mixcloud.com the sound suddenly switched to rear speakers again :( Strange thing is: When I lower the volume from the front speaker on the device "pulseaudio" the rear speakers gets quiet. And when I lower the volume from the front speaker on the device "Xonar" the front speakers get quiet. So I guess something IS wrong here :/
