2 channel sound when 5.1 is expected

http://askubuntu.com – I have this sound issue ever since Ubuntu 10.x. I am on 11.10 now and I was hoping this would have been fixed. I would like to use 5.1 speaker sound, so I go to the speaker icon in the top right of the screen and select sound properties, navigate to hardware tab and select 5.1 analog mode. This works wile sound is playing e.g. from Banshee music player. But each time I change a song, the sound is back to 2 channels again. I have tried the answer from "Sound reverts to 2 channels from 5.1 + Analog", but unfortunately it did not work for me. I am on 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10. Sound Settings: pro (HowTos)

I just downloaded and installed Linux Mint 13 Maya ( the MATE edition) today and I think I really like it. However, one problem occured that when I tried to play some music with Banshee, there was no sound at all.

Support Jack Issue 9 weeks 1 day ago

Hello guys, Here is the issue: suddently my headphones stopped working on my s3: no sound from headphones and no notification icon.

I have been working on this issue for several days now and still cannot get my sound card to work. Basically, I have a Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D sound card installed in a PCI slot and I am unable to play any sound through it. Note that I have the on board sound disabled in the BIOS. Also, it is my understanding that this sound card is supported as of kernel 3.5.

[ubuntu] Banshee Problems 1 year 17 weeks ago

I had to reload my sound drivers because ubuntu had stopped recognizing my sound drivers and I got sound back except from banshee. I have played videos and those worked fine. Everything else seems to have sound. I checked the volume within banshee and it was all the way up. I tried upgrading banshee and it the highest upgrade. I tried downgrading banshee and same thing no sound.

Hi,

I have been looking around on various forums and have found different threads about the sound of the movies playing through XBMC does not work when with HDMI-connection, but to me I get sound on some movies and some did not.

Some movies I do not need to change any settings after I have started a movie.

Some movies I have to go into audio settings and click the "Output stero to al

It seems 5.1 surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10 either does work or it doesn't end of story. Mine doesn't! I have trawled the universe for help and nothing works. I have an external usb 5.1 sound card made by Trust (thats what it says in the base speaker) I have no other info on this. So far I have followed some instructions and changed a command in somewhere to read default-sample-channels =6.

I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Mac Mini. Sound has been iffy for a long time, not working for some users or situations, no sound over Skype, and when I'd run VLC, I'd almost always get a warning to update my alsa-lib (which was 1.21).

I updated it and now I have no sound whatsoever.

I'm using a LinearLayout (with some views inside) for representing the sound On/Off button in the Settings screen.

When I set the OnClickListener to this Layout it automatically plays the system "onClick" sound when clicked.

I'd like to play the sound only when the sound is going from 'NoSound' to 'Sound'. How can I supress the sound in the other case?
