I have the same bug.

I have:
1) 1 realtek onboard sound
2) 1 audigy 2 zs

I configured audizy 2 zs with 5.1 output, but sound doesn't function in subwoofer.

If a play one mp3, subwofer not reproduce a sound, but if a turn sound to realtek and turn to audigy, subwoofer play sounds.
BUT, in the next music (playlist in mplayer), subwoofer turn off again.

And I have to turn sound to realtek, return to subwoofer etc. Its a loop!

I use 9.10 with latest updates!

Hi, maybe you already tried this, but if still not, then check this page, there is a person who made his woofer work by using the following information:

The person who made the woofer work is speaking about it in the following page:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=887356

And the computer that he has is not the same model like yours, but maybe it could also help you. The person says that his model is toshiba x205-S9349

Another possible solution could be to compile the last drivers from alsa, downloading them from the svn.

I hope it helps!

Another possible solution:

You can enable 5.1 support in karmic by following the next information. I guess you will have no problem since I saw that you are coming from a spanish speaker country:

For the non-spanish-speakers, I will translate here the contents:

How to enable 5.1 sound in karmic
-------------------------------------------

1. Edit the file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:

sudo gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

and search the line that contains "; default-sample-channels = 2”. Replace it with “default-sample-channels = 6“. Please note that you MUST remove the semicolon character (;) in front of the line. This is really important, otherwise it will not work! After the change, save the file.

2. Restart pulseaudio server:

pulseaudio -k

3. Run alsamixer and change the number of channels. There is an option where you can see (2CH). Change it to 6 channels (6CH).

4. Test and look for the right positioning of your speakers. Use the following command:

speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav

If you can hear every speaker right, then everything is ready.

Please let us know if this worked for you

Hi Done,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 431095

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
