[pulseaudio-discuss] Simultaneous Audio Out

[Randy Broman]

I have an AMD system with Sabertooth 990FX motherboard, running Kubuntu 
12.04 and KDE 4.11.1. Chipset is AMD990FX/SB950, and audio spec is 
Realtek ALC892 8-channel Hi Def audio. I have audio outputs connected to 
the analog out ports, and digital coax out to a mini-card connected to 
the SPDIF-Out connector on the motherboard. Output of lshw for 
multimedia is below.

Audio configuration is thru System Settings -> Multimedia -> Audio and 
Video Settings and accordingly thru Phonon multimedia framework. I can 
get audio out either thru Analog Stereo jacks or Digital Coax 
(designated Digital Stereo IEC958) jack, but I can't get output thru 
both simultaneously, and I can't find anything in Audio and Video 
Settings to do so. It must be possible, as this is a Windows/Linux 
dual-boot system, and I get simultaneous audio output with Windows.

Can someone tell me how to configure my Kubuntu system for simultaneous 
audio output?

Thx, Gus
