            Bug ID: 96648
           Summary: Audio is muted and mapped wrongly by default on
                    Focusrite Scarlett 18i8
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: alsa

The first time I plugged this device in while being relatively new to linux I
spent a lot of time figuring out why the audio wasn't working as opening a
terminal and typing alsamixer, selecting the soundcard and pressing M on the
output to unmute it wasn't something I had thought of. The left and right
channel are also PCM 1/PCM 1 by default but they should be PCM 1/PCM 2. So
after unmuting and setting the right channels there's audio at least.

But after that there's the issue that it's being treated as a 5.1 system so the
bass is on some other channel. There's an existing issue for that though

I don't know how you handle specific devices. If they don't conform do you do
special case handling? Or should that happen somewhere else?
