1. Given what both Raymond and I see in hda-emu, I believe 7.1 (through four external jacks) does not work. Any vu-meter would probably skip enough layers to make the test not reliable.
3. I believe the speaker test in "Sound Settings" outputs a rumble rather than "Rear Center", if that helps. 4. Do as you wish. I should upstream my "Speaker Front" stuff to PulseAudio anyhow. 8. I agree - PCM is a bad name. It should be something like "Line Out Front" instead. Maybe I should try changing that too, but that will bring in a new name for which we don't have support in PulseAudio, so that would need an additional patch for PulseAudio too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236965 Title: pulseaudio does not recognize internal speakers [P180HMx, Realtek ALC892, Speaker, Internal] volume slider problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1236965/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
