Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hwtest
Running pavucontrol while doing the sound test in hwtest shows that the sound is not going through pulseaudio Basically this means, by default, if any other application is using the sound card while you are running the test, you wont be able to hear the test sound (even if your sound card does actually work). This will lead to incorrect data on working sound cards. tested this on ubuntu hardy 8.04.1 on several computers, and 8.10 alpha 3 live cd ** Affects: hwtest (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- hwtest doesnt use pulseaudio for sound test https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255812 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
