[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] alsa-mixer: sb-omni-surround-5.1.conf: remove analog-surround-21, add Linux 4.3+ support

[Nazar Mokrynskyi]

I was discussing this here once already. In 2.1 mode LFE just doesn't 
work. Instead when I test LFE speaker in sound settings there is weird 
long noise in one of rare speakers. I have no idea about reason of this, 
so instead of 2.1 I'm using 5.1 mode, which works fine.
My system is Ubuntu 16.04 x64, so packages:
alsa-base: 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu5
alsa-utils: 1.0.29-1ubuntu1

If there is any ppa to try newer packages - I can do that.

Sincerely, Nazar Mokrynskyi
