Public bug reported:
Something changed in Gutsy that lead to the following things with my
onboard audio (sis966 chip):
1. I cannot get 5.1 surround sound no matter what I try
2. There is a constant noise when I set the volume level to about mid-way.
3. When the hard drive does some more exhaustive reading/writing, I can hear
that too through the speakers
The 5.1 surround sound worked in Feisty. The colors of the speaker jacks
and the colors on the mainboard matched up when using KDE, were mixed up
when using GNOME (but I could connect them up so that 5.1 would work
nicely). There was also no constant noise even when setting the volume
level to maximum. Also definitely no noise caused by the hard drive.
I also double checked this with booting live-Feisty currently.
I downloaded the newest Hardy DVD (I have no CDs at home anymore), and
the effect is pretty much the same as in Gutsy, all the above negative
effects are existent. Didn't however spend too much time with it,
thinking the bug is simply still in there for my chipset.
I also just realized, when I use the volume controls on my keyboard, it
is the microphone levels that are set, and not the PCM or wave, so can't
use them either (worked in Feisty aswell). So there is another wrong
mapping.
I commented on other bugreports that seemed to be the same, but the move into
other directions as my problems, so making a new one here.
I would be very happy if someone could help me fix this, or at least get it
fixed for Hardy, so that it will work by default as it does in Feisty.
