Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager
Before gnome volume manager would give you several options in the
preferences pane, oss, alsa and a load of pulse audio options. Now only
one soundcard using pulse audio and my usb mic on my webcam are shown in
the preferences dialog. At least I think its using pulseaudio, the name
of the card is HDA Nvdia(Alsa Mixer) but I am able to view the audio
streams for individual apps from gnome-volume-control. It looks like
pulse audio is being used also when troubleshooting in pavcontrol.
Here in lies the first problem, its reporting it as alsa is the mixer
when its really using the pulse audio mixer, that's insane :(
Second problem : So for some odd reason pulse audio still doesn't detect
the right amount of channels to use instead defaulting to two even when
using a 7.1 speaker system. After manually changing settings in a config
file(why is this problem still here after several releases with
pulseaudio included in ubuntu) the settings work with pavcontrol but
with gnome-volume-manager I still only have control of the master
output, no control over any of the speakers or the subwoofer.
