hello, please excuse the delay.
first of all i must report, that the abovementioned reply from grant diffey: "It sounds to me like you haven't set up the internal mixer of the ultra correctly this will sound bad." was actually right. after lots of guesswork i dug into alsamixer's "effect" faders and they were wrongly set because of, probably, both settings made under windows as well as certain inconsistency in card's setup between systems (i.e. the wrong linux setting wouldn't manifest itself under windows at the same time). so i'm marking it as "invalid". however, i believe this is a symptom of a serious problem. if the system is rendered unusable (at least to me) for over a year and there's no way to get clear solution (the above answer was too enigmatic to me), there seems to be a problem with the whole ecosystem. please comment on how similar cases can be solved effectively. now to answer above questions (i actually indirectly answered it before): the gnome/unity sound control lets me change balance, fade and bass, however balance and fade are illogically entangled (moving one may move the other). am i expected to do any tests regarding your "log" question? thank you for the support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186512 Title: [USB-Audio - Fast Track Ultra, playback] Playback problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1186512/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
