only mono sound 82801H jaunty

[Daniel Holm]

Since the fresh install of Jaunty Jackalope on my laptop, I only get mono sound and only the left speaker seem to work - pavucontrol confirms the issue. Then I added 'themuso' PPA for PulseAudio 0.9.15 and even tough I love the new features, I still get the same problem - no stereo sound.

And this is quite annoying when I'm trying to play a game and have to listen with my "left ear" or that the music I try to play isn't as loud as is it could and should be.

So it is perhaps the linux-module for the soundcard, ALSA or PulseAudio.

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in pulseaudio.

For future reference you might be interested to know that a lot of applications have bug reporting functionality built in to them. This can be accessed via the Report a Problem option in the Help menu for the application with which you are having an issue.

The sound is definitely from the harddrive, not from the speakers. So it has to be a bug in the kernel, right?
But I'm unable to found a package to relate to the kernel (linux-kernel, linux-image, linux-kernel-generic).

[Daniel Holm (danielholm)]

Forget about the comment, wrong bug....

Thanks for the help.

[Luke Yelavich (themuso)]

Could you please run the following in a terminal: "apport-collect -p alsa-base 355375"

Could you also try the latest live CD for the karmic development version, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/current. You do not need to install it, just see if sound is in stereo for the live session.

Thanks.

Is this symptom reproducible using the most current daily-live desktop Lucid image?

[Daniel Holm (danielholm)]

It worked fine in Karmic and now I have a new laptop. But thanks.
