Various issues:

1. I think I have to prove myself wrong about hearing the bass (sub-
woofer)[*]. I tried to cross-check by observing the volume meter (in
pavucontrol) and no change of the volume-meter appears when the bass is
played.

2. I can confirm Jim Rorie's observation. But only for the past days and
_not_ today !?

3. When I play a video in youtube sometimes sound get's muted. Then I
need to play some sound via VLC _and_ play with the Master, PCM, Front
volume adjustments to re-activate the sound. All other players (like
Totem) fail. It's a weird issue...

Question:
Is there any difference in the sound-system if pulse is installed (e.g. 
pavucontrol, pavumeter)?

Cheers, Nikos

Bug description:
Reporting this bug for another user...

In MacBook and MacBookPro 5,1 (aluminium, late 2008) the soundcard works out of 
the box only with headphones, and to turn speakers on it is necessary to 
manually set the 6 channels. In that case, sound is heard both on headphones 
and right and center speaker; the left speaker doesn't work yet.

This bug is confirmed by several users, see the additional information attached.
