I did a clean install of Hardy a while back, and to my dismay found that with pulseaudio being the default sound system, my workaround specified above no longer works, and reverts to 2-channel sound only. I've tried editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to add "default-sample-channels = 6" (because PA only enables 2-channel playback by default), but I don't get anything but 2-channel. Even worse, trying to set the playback to use ALSA again fails on test with the following message:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. So surround sound has been completely broken for me since. You didn't specify a repo to add so that I can install linux- image-2.6.27-*, so I downloaded the Intrepid alpha 5, booted into it and still 2-channel sound only. Edited /etc/pulse/daemon.conf as above and ran: killall pulseaudio pulseaudio & Test tone still works, but still only 2-channel, even after unmuting all the appropriate channels. Note that whether I'm using the installed Hardy or live Intrepid, I get the following error when I manually relaunch PA: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pulseaudio & [1] 6507 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 Let me know if there's any other information I can provide. -- High pitch whine on left audio channel with Asus K8N-VM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156540 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
