I agree that it is a bug that the subwoofer moves along with the master. A workaround that should have been working would be to "load-module module-alsa-sink control=PCM" (which should make pulseaudio volume control all channels equally) and then use alsamixer to control the individual channels.
I'm still uncertain whether this bug is at the Pulseaudio level or the driver level... -- Volume Control wrong for 5.1 sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501034 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
