Starting PulseAudio manually with PULSE_NO_SIMD=1 clears the sound up a *lot*.
However, every time a new sound is played, it reverts to stereo. Well, not completely; it reverts to 2 channels, but not the same two channels that the sound card uses in stereo mode. Good enough to color me completely confused. So, every time I start playing something like netradio, I have to open the hardware properties by right-clicking on the volume control, and toggling it away from 5.1 and then back to 5.1 in order to get the sound to work right. System sounds only work properly when a netradio stream is playing; as soon as the sound system stops playing sound completely, it stops properly outputting audio. That is, however, bug 406582 (or rather, the part of it that still is an issue on Karmic). -- SB Audigy: Bad audio quality when told to use all 5.1 channels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455779 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
