Thanks for the quick response! The package from maverick-proposed (pulseaudio 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1) does indeed fix the audio distortion in all the mentioned profiles.
While testing I found another bug that applies to all profiles and that I don't think is a regression: I'm playing a song e.g. with Totem or VLC and in the meantime change the profile from e.g. 5.1 to 7.1 (doesn't really matter which). The music continues and comes through all speakers (as expected). When I then close and reopen the player to play the same file, the subwoofer is dead - everything else (FL,FR,RL,RR,C) works. At any time the subwoofer is addressable via the speaker-test application and alsamixer values are unchanged. In other words: the subwoofer is always dead unless you switch audio profiles while playing a file. Another thing that comes to my mind: Shouldn't the Subwoofer volume slider in the audio settings window (tab "Output") be independent from the master volume? I'd expect it to specify the relative volume difference of the subwoofer channel compared to the master channel. In that case it should not change its position and value when adjusting the master volume, like it does now. -- Distorted sound in 5.1 audio profile of Creative X-Fi Titanium (PCIe) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663459 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
