[Bug 1198727] New: no sound from subwoofer
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1198727 Bug ID: 1198727 Summary: no sound from subwoofer Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound Assignee: tiwai@suse.com Reporter: alfaflo@gmx.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 858312 --> https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=858312&action=edit screenshot "plasma settings audio test" Hello, I'm using Soundblaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB sound card. In the past, the 5.1 configuration worked well and out of the box including sound from subwoofer. I can't tell since when, but subwoofer stopped to work under KDE Plasma. The strange thing is, that the audio test in Plasma settings wants to start a stream for "rear-center" (see attached screenshot). If I start "speaker-test -c 6" from console, the subwoofer works, so it seems not to be a problem from Alsa?! Also when I use "Windows", the subwoofer works, so it isn't a hardware/cabling issue. I'm sure, that subwoofer worked in the past in openSuse / KDE in the past, but I can't say when it stopped (or if it is related to switch to pipewire?) Thank you in advance for any tips.

Is PulseAudio being used, or is it pipewire? Since speaker-test works, it's rather a problem of the sound daemon.

Honestly I've to say that I've some problems to understand Linux sound servers. However, Pipewire is installed but I also tried to remove everything related to Pipewire and using PulseAudio again. But it didn't change anything: Under KDE settings still no sound from audio test if I click "subwoofer". output from alsa-info.sh attached. Thanks for your help! :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Installing wireplumber-audio, pipewire-alsa and pipewire-pluseaudio packages should obsolete pulseaudio and switch to pipewire automatically. You may need to reboot after installation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
