Public bug reported: 1. Ubuntu DTS (movie) sound (trough Alsa or Pulse) at low frequencies are severely distorted. This problem has persisted for several Ubuntu releases. (win7 does not have this problem).
2. I have an Asus Xonar Essence STX (pci-e) sound card/headphone amp. In ubuntu 10.10 it was possible to adjust the impedance level of the headphones in the preferred mixer application (i.e. Gnome-Alsa mixer). This very, very important adjustment option have for reasons unknown been removed after Ubuntu 10.10. Is it possible to get this feature back?
