Public bug reported:

In System Sound Settings, I chose HDMI 5.1 audio, but there is no sound
from my subwoofer in any audio application.

The System Sound Settings for HDMI 5.1 always shows a disabled subwoofer
slider. When I open the test window and hit the subwoofer icon button,
no sound is produced.


But if I open Pulse Audio Volume Control -> Output Devices -> (unlock icon), 
all show mid-volume on the slider except for subwoffer.  But the subwoofer 
slider is enabled.  So I slide it to mid-volume, and go back to System Sound 
Settings -> test window and hit the subwoofer icon button, I hear my subwoofer 
is working fine.

I also then hear the subwoofer in all audio applications.

If I were to touch the System Sound Slider for the subwoofer, it
immediately stops working again.

I can fix it again in Pulse Audio Volumne Control again.
