I don't have the same card as the others, though I have the same problem. I have a Creative CTXFI Titanium and with < 12.04 this all worked just fine (after a few tweaks). I can confirm that in 12.04 I cannot select the digital surround sound options simply because they do not exist ... though just "Digital Output (S/PDIF)" does exist.
Here is a link to the output: http://pastebin.com/Hs8GbR02 > aplay -l does list all the surround options (listed in this following pastbin): http://pastebin.com/7Yzwdk23 Why it lists hundreds of subdevices I don't know, though the important thing is that digital surround sound is listed. and the command "pacmd list-cards" does list all the correct profiles (see line 47), just none of them are selectable via the GUI: http://pastebin.com/e6pYv8KZ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972554 Title: [soundnua]: new capplet does not expose the sound card profile selection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/972554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
