I don't know whether this is a good idea. What if I want to listen to something over my headphones which I don't others want to hear and I know about this "feature". I expect the sound to be over headphones only, yet it's blasting over the internal speakers as well and everyone in the room can hear me as well. >> FWIW, sound works in 99% of the cases right after a fresh install. > > Please provide the data you base this claim on, from a statistically > significant sample of Debian installations. No problem. Will do it later today when I have some time. I'll collect the default desktop, the amount of users and the number of machines and the amount of support requests regarding audio if that's ok. >> Problems like the one described by Christian usually occur on systems >> which have been undergone several configuration changes and upgrades, >> i.e. old systems. > > If the configuration you get from install + upgrade is different than > just installing a newer version, that's a bug. Well. You can't blame PulseAudio if you have an .asoundrc in your home directory which configures your sound card incorrectly. Adrian -- .''`.
