It also works if I switch the Pulseaudio output configuration to "Digital Stereo (HDMI) output" and back while the sound is playing. As soon as the first change is done, I hear sound (in stereo, of course) and after the second change I have nice 5.1 sound.
So Pulseaudio is clearly able to do everything necessary to have sound, it just needs to do it automatically when starting playback. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884336 Title: [Oneiric] HDMI output does not work immediately To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/884336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
