edit the file to comment out the following lines like this<br>
<br>
#load-module module-udev-detect<br>
#load-module module-detect<br>
<br>
add the following lines immediately following the ones you commented out<br>
<br>
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:<your_card>,<sink_in<wbr>dex> sink_properties="your_sink"<br>
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:<your_card>,<source_<wbr>index> source_properties="your_source<wbr>"<br>
<br>
You can discover the value for <your_card>, <sink_index> and <source_index> via `aplay -l` and `arecord -l`<br>
<br>
restart pulseaudio<br>
`pulseaudio -k`<br>
<br>
verify it worked<br>
`pactl list sinks`<br>
`pactl list sources`<br>
<br>
Not a fix but it is a workaround<br>
</span></blockquote>
<br>
Thanks, but it doesn't really work for me. `aplay -l` shows:<br>
<br>
card 0: D2X [Xonar D2X], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel]<br>
Subdevices: 0/1<br>
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0<br>
card 0: D2X [Xonar D2X], device 1: Digital [Digital]<br>
Subdevices: 1/1<br>
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0<br>
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]<br>
Subdevices: 0/1<br>
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0<br>
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital]<br>
Subdevices: 0/1<br>
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0<br>
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]<br>
Subdevices: 0/1<br>
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0<br>
<br>
so the D2X (analog output) should be "hw:0,0", right? Adding this line:<br>
<br>
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0<br>
<br>
does not add a D2X sink to `pactl list sinks`. Adding this line:<br>
<br>
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,1<br>
<br>
does add D2X *digital* ouptut sink. So PulseAudio has a specific problem with multichannel (5.1) analog output for some reason.<div class="gmail-HOEnZb"><div class="gmail-h5"><br>
