Title:
Add auto-detect and -installation routine to sound configuration
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Sudden absence of a audio output device(s) after updates or
misconfiguration is a quite popular error in many Ubuntu versions. The
sound configuration panel in unity doesn't offer any support to
automatically detect sound hardware and install necessary drivers. I'd
be nice if it did including the following functions:
- Selection of backend. There's `alsa` and `jack` and possibly more and no
reason to bother Ubuntu users with that except for one page in a guided dialog.
- Auto-detection of hardware. Although non-deterministic because of "cheap"
hardware which doesn't identify itself correctly as audio hardware, there
should be a page in a guided dialog allowing selection for correctly identified
hardware (including eventual workarounds for detection).
- detection of necessary drivers and support for choice if there's more
than one available
