Public bug reported:
I tried to fix the alsa-base.conf, however I am not sure what the
default configuration should be.Either way, I do hear the test tone but
it doesnt alternate between speakers/channels. It just sounds one
constant tone. The same happens when i do a speaker-test, i get pink
noise through the same output, even though it reads front-left, front-
right, center, lfe ....it plays sound while displaying those 4, however
the sound comes through the lfe from what it sounds like (the sound only
plays through one output).
If you have a preferred alsa-base.conf or a way for me to overwrite it,
let me know and we can proceed. I modified it due to this problem. Since
installing Ubuntu I have not had the sound working properly so I have
been trying configuration edits (with no success so far).
I noticed no subdevices are displayed.
I am not sure how the card decides where to send sound to but the
interesting thing is that when testing in Pulseaudio I get sound playing
when clicking front-left, front-right but nothing from clicking
subwoofer. And again, the front-left and front-right all play the tone
through the same speaker..theres no difference and apparently my guess
is not all of my speakers are being detected as available options
because I also only have (1) speaker control in Alsamixer.
Surely there must be some way to get 2.1 speakers correctly configured?
