@Stefan Goldmann I did what you said in both your post here and in the post you made on another forum, which are basically the same thing. I'm sorry to tell that It doesn't work for me. Although, when I move some sliders in PA applet, nothing moves in alsamixer, which is what we want.
But then, I've got no sound at all and I even get an error in Totem Movie Player: "pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated" There's nothing in the device list of PA Applet but there's one in its output devices. If I revert the default.pa file back to the original and killall pulseaudio, sound gets back to, may I say, usual... I'm using LTS 10.04 AMD64 My sound card is a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 SB0220 (Chip: SigmaTel STAC9708,11 as reported by alsamixer) I have included an attachment with all the files you requested from Nate except the "top" one since I don't experience any issue with stability and CPU usage. thanks for your help, it's very appreciated on my side. ** Attachment added: "for-stefan.zip" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50659680/for-stefan.zip -- Highpitched Rattling like Sound with 5.1 Surround Configuration on Karmic Koala https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445849 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
