I did a test installation of Karmic on another partition and added the Ubuntu Audio Dev team PPA to get a update to pulseaudio 0.9.21. I was curious if the problem is fixed in a newer version.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I added this line to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to get my Subwoofer working with my Audigy 2 ZS. disable-lfe-remixing = no With this version the problems seem to be mostly gone... The highpitched sound comes up when I set the subwooferlevel in pulseaudio to minimum. But in general pulseaudio becomes usable for me. I dont know which sideeffects will come up with this dev version, but they cant be harder than this bug. -- Highpitched Rattling like Sound with 5.1 Surround Configuration on Karmic Koala https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445849 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
