No. Same problem on Ubuntu 13.04. The 5.1 configuration is fine, but the 7.1 configuration a. cannot be controled correctly by the main volume, b. center speaker is muted by default unless you fix it with Qasmixer.

On a fresh install i have no sound on center speaker and there is no way to fix it (without qasmixer) through gnome-control-center\sound. I post it as bug of gnome-control-center\sound because I suppose it is. Every other speaker configuration works fine. I supose that the normal in this case is to can control the volume through gnome-control-center\sound (or indicator) without any other software. The solution i gave to myself was to set the volume from the gnome-control-center\sound to max, and control the rest through the qasmixer... but i wish it works in a normal way. Now, the gnome-control-center\sound and the sound indicator (the volume option, not the hole thing) are totally useless to me. 5) hope it helps ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu19 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 22 14:11:11 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu4 deja-dup 24.0-0ubuntu1 gnome-control-center-signon 0.0.18-0ubuntu1 indicator-datetime 12.10.2-0ubuntu3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1069760/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
