I'll change the focus of bug as usability issue. ** Summary changed:
- PCM outputs are mute (optical and coax) + PCM outputs are mute (optical and coax) by default ** Description changed: Binary package hint: pulseaudio + Error: By default S/PDIF outputs are disabled. + Expected: S/PDIF outputs should be enabled by default, because graphical mixer doesn't have any switch/option to switch these on. + Workaround: Open alsamixer (from terminal) and enable S/PDIF outputs. + Soundcard PCM (optical/coax) outputs are mute in Natty (11.04). Same card with same setup, worked ok with Maverick (10.10) and Lucid (10.04). (Mute buttons are disabled!!) - Changing different profiles from Sound preferences didn't have effect. + Changing different profiles from Sound preferences didn't have effect. Analog outputs works with any profile (Digital stereo IEC output, analog stereo, analog 5.1 etc...).
