[Bug 381686] New: Pulseaudio useless for 5.1 audio
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381686 Summary: Pulseaudio useless for 5.1 audio Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 1 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai@novell.com ReportedBy: bjorn.lie@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- If one has a proper speakersetup, and not just laptop speakers, pulseaudio is useless. As far as I've been able to figure out, its possible to make pulse behave correctly by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa Having to resort to config file editing for something as ordinary as 5.1 (or 4.0) speakers is bonkers in 2008. Recomend that everyone with setups like mine ripp out all pulseaudio related packages and install esound if using gnome. That will put you to pre 11 soundstate, which works perfectly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Issues : The speaker selector always returns to stereo, it should read the logged in user's .pulse.... files and find what value to display - meaning if I set it to be 4.0 it should stay on 4.0 the next time I open this applet.
yes, that part is still missing in the patch, I have it almost complete now, so will post new package as soon as it's done
nr 2. As you said, I have to manually kill pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k and start it again with pulseaudio -D
ok, I'll add code to respawn pulseaudio, so that it's not needed to do it by hand
nr 3. I as far as I can tell ,it doesn't always get the speakersetting I'm trying to give it (getting it back to 2.0 seems to be the hardest)
hmm, that's bad, does it only happen with 2.0 or with others ?
nr 4. Make sure that its known that we now configure pulseaudio per user, and not in /etc/pulse/pulsefiles...
yes, with this change we copy system-wide daemon.conf to the user's home, so with updates there could be problems, when some new thing gets added to the system-wide config file
nr 6. making default-fragments = 16 default-fragment-size-msec = 21 default for everyone might be a bad idea, these values can make problems for other people with other soundcards/chips for all I know. Stay with upstream for this?
hmm, what kind of problems? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
