I have a Creative Xmod, and it behaves somewhat strangely with Pulseaudio in Karmic. First of all, the default audio profile chosen for this card is "Analog stereo input", but you can select a different profile at the bottom of the audio properties for the device (right click mixer icon, selects prefs, go to the Hardware tab). The problem is that only surround-profiles are available, and a simple "Analog stereo output" is not there. I don't understand why. But selecting "Analog surround 5.1 .." actually works with stereo output, just as long as you stay away from the channel left/right balance slider or volume control. That will mess up the sound (makes it scratchy/thin). So this is an unacceptable workaround.
It would be good if a simple "Analog stereo output" could be made available for this card, and that it should be the profile with the highest priority, so it gets automatically selected. It's probably possible if you mess around with ALSA config (or Pulseaudio-config), but it should be there by default. -- USB creative xmod XFI Output does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429642 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
