Edit the file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf: sudo gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and search the line that contains "; default-sample-channels = 2”. Replace it with “default-sample-channels = 6“. Please note that you MUST remove the semicolon character (;) in front of the line. This is really important, otherwise it will not work! After the change, save the file. 2. Restart pulseaudio server: pulseaudio -k 3. Run alsamixer and change the number of channels. There is an option where you can see (2CH). Change it to 6 channels (6CH). 4. Test and look for the right positioning of your speakers. Use the following command: speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav If you can hear every speaker right, then everything is ready. ------ Please let us know if this worked for you -- Toshiba X205-s9800 ubuntu 9.10 problems not working sound/Bluetooth/fingerprint/NVIDIA 87000M GT/Chicony USB 2.0 Camera https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431095 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
