Found a workaround for the Inspiron 9400 on Lucid based on Cristian's "analog-output-lfe-on-mono.conf" fix.
1. Edit the file "analog-output-lfe-on-mono.conf" (sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-lfe-on-mono.conf) Change: [Element Hardware Master] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all override-map.2 = all-left,all-right [Element Master] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all-no-lfe override-map.2 = all-left,all-right [Element Master Mono] required = any switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = lfe override-map.2 = lfe,lfe Into: [Element PCM] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all override-map.2 = all-left,all-right [Element LFE] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = lfe override-map.2 = lfe,lfe [Element Master] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all override-map.2 = all-left,all-right Remove: [Element LFE] switch = off volume = off 2. Restart pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k). 3. Open sound preferences and choose from the output tab the "Analog Output (LFE)" connector. This fixed it for me. Sound works like it should do again, enjoy! -- [karmic][lucid] Intel HDA 82801G (ICH7) | STAC9200 - Mixer controlling wrong settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441195 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
