It may have been too early to mark this invalid. Yesterday I did a clean install (although later restored my old home folder) of Maverick beta, and a moment ago I noticed that my left speaker is now dead, just like in this bug description. This is not a hardware issue, because everything worked fine in 10.04.
Moving the balance slider in sound preferences in either direction only lowers the volume slightly, so it sounds as if both stereo channels are mixed into a single mono channel, which is then fed to the right-side speaker only. I've tried rebooting, deleting my .pulse folder and whatnot, but the problem remains. My sound chip is not VIA, but Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03), so this might be a more generic issue. -- [VIA VT1828S] Only getting mono sound with 10.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/637429 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
