[Bug 319281] Re: Missing output devices in sound preferences dialog
Digital surround output is also missing for me on a Realtek ALC889A chipset. I only have Digital Stereo Duplex (IEC958) and various combinations of both output and input, while the analogue options include 4, 4.1, 5, and 5.1 surround. So, I guess it's not be detected correctly, or something? :P -- Missing output devices in sound preferences dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 319281] Re: Missing output devices in sound preferences dialog
I just tested karmik alpha-5. The sound preferences dialog has a hardware tab. There is an option: Settings for the selected device where the profile can be choosed. There are options for many the output devices. Among them: Analog Surround 7.1 Output + Digital Stereo (IEC958) Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output Digital Stereo Duplex (IEC958) Digitial Stereo (IEC958) Output + Digital Stereo (IEC958) Input I attach a capture from the dialog. I think the IEC958 should be Surround 7.1, I tried speaker-test and it fails for more than 2 channels: Digital Surround 7.1 (IEC958 7.1) Output aplay -L front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC888 Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC888 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC888 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC888 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC888 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC888 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC888 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output hdmi:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, INTEL HDMI HDMI Audio Output $ speaker-test -Diec958 -c3 -twav speaker-test 1.0.20 Playback device is iec958 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 3 channels WAV file(s) Channels count (3) not available for playbacks: Invalid argument Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument ** Attachment added: screenshot gnome sound preferences, hardware http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31393027/screenshot_gnome_sound_preferences.png -- Missing output devices in sound preferences dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME) ** Changed in: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- Missing output devices in sound preferences dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I use the latest Jaunty versions. Also added proposed and backports repos. Not having the digital output results in having totem _not_ playing AC3-files over S/PDIF. Instead I only get the 6 channel analog surround sound. Concerning the images, I let them on my server. When I find the time, I will upload them here. My guess is that pulseaudio needs some workaround/trick to recognize the digital output. Does it need an asoundrc file? I do not have one, yet. Just the defaults from the distribution. -- Missing output devices in sound preferences dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Problem still persists after update to pulseaudio-0.9.14. Tested with pavucontrol, too.
