I tried to alter the default.pa file since there are some soundcard specific workarounds available* but I had no success. This is pretty frustrating because pulseaudio is the standard soundsystem of most distros nowadays and the only real workaround is to remove it and use plain alsa. I use Debian testing (Jessie/Sid) with pulseaudio 5.0. * http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2011-April/017566.html http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1871685 Thanks, Benjamin Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1390474/comments/0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2014-10-08T15:56:23+00:00 Raymond wrote: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/src/modules/alsa /alsa-mixer.c?id=48edd0a00f455df075efcf1986103e5f507c816f do you mean multichannel profile still not fix your problem?

If the multichannel profile has been added to the 5.0 release then I have it, otherwise I need some help on how to use it. I've attached what you asked for. I should probably add that pulseaudio itself runs fine, but doesn't give me any audio output at all, I've checked this via hdspmixer.

If you feel adventurous enough to install pulseaudio from source, here are steps for installing the current git version: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio cd pulseaudio ./bootstrap.sh make sudo make install sudo ldconfig The bootstrap.sh script will probably give you all kinds of errors, if you don't have the development tools and the headers of various dependecy libraries already installed. I think debian has some tool for installing the build dependencies, which should make it pretty painless to get everything installed, something like "apt-get build-dependencies pulseaudio". I don't know the exact command, google will help you.
