Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mythtv
The current (December 2008) mythbuntu packages do not directly support pulseaudio, despite it being the default sound server since Ubuntu 8.04. Patches have been developed and are found in the mythtv Trac: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5473 For Home Theatre systems that contain multiple sound hardware output, and/or surround-sound services (7.1, 5.1, etc.) there are problems configuring the mythtv frontend audio volume control. In the default configuration with "ALSA:default" (and other ALSA variations) the sound is fed to pulseaudio by the alsa/pulseaudio plug-in. Unfortunately Mythtv mixer volume control doesn't 'know' about the surround-sound configuration in pulseaudio and will only control the Front Left/Right channels. Front Centre/LFE, Side Left/Right, Rear Left/Right remain at their system-set level. These pulseaudio patches allow mythtv to directly output audio to pulseaudio, and accept a pulseaudio server control string too. I've taken the mythtv Trac patches and ported them to the Ubuntu mythtv source and am making it available in my PPA. ** Affects: mythtv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Add pulseaudio output support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
