> did you customise default.pa to select any specified sink ? Not to my knowledge. I only used the default kde device preferences tool to pick my sound card and set it to 5.1 and mark it as most preferred. And I used alsamixer to unmute/set volume on the different channels.
> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log I set enable-lfe-remixing = yes back to 'no' and then went through the process of reproducing the subwoofer sound drops out bug on my system: 1. Ran the commands: echo autospawn = no >> ~/.config/pulse/client.conf #use ~/.pulse/client.conf on Ubuntu <= 12.10 killall pulseaudio LANG=C pulseaudio -vvvv --log-time=1 > ~/pulseverbose.log 2>&1 2. Started Clementine to play some bass heavy audio: Result no subwoofer output 3. Went into device preferences and set my buildin card to stereo output and after about a sec. back to 5.1: Result subwoofer output worked for the still playing song. 4. After playback of the song was ended I tried playing it again: Result no subwoofer output 5. ^c ** Attachment added: "pulseverbose.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1445861/+attachment/4380042/+files/pulseverbose.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445861 Title: Subwoofer drops out when playback ends Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When audio is played in a 5.1 configuration then there is no sound coming from the Subwoofer channel by default. Functionality of the Subwoofer channel can be temporarily restored by switching the audio profile from 5.1 to stereo and back to 5.1 again. Changing the line in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf from ; enable-lfe-remixing = no to enable-lfe-remixing = yes Fixes this issue permanently with my current hardware configuration. ubuntu-bug wrongly identified the Nvidia HDMI port as the symptomatic card. The actual playback device is the build in Intel HDA ALC1150 audio chipset.
