Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
The problem is I can't get audio output on the front panel audio with most applications (Rhythmbox, Movieplayer, mplayer, VLC). This is on Ubuntu 9.10 (amd64). Output on rear panel works. Symptoms are similar to bug #427567 although I'm using current pulseaudio.
I'm using these packages:
linux-image-
alsa-driver (1.0.20+
pulseaudio (1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4)
gst-plugins-
Outputing directly to alsa works:
aplay -D plug:front test.wav --> can hear sound on front panel audio
Also:
speaker-test -Dplug:surround71 -c8 -l1 -twav --> can hear sound on front panel audio
Motherboard is an Asus p5kpl-am which has 8 channel audio:

I'm using default config files in /etc/pulse, removed ~/.pulse, in sound preferences changed hardware to "Analog Surround 7.1 Output + Analog Stereo Input", made sure all channels are unmuted in alsamixer, restarted pulseaudio.
Also I tried changing output to "5.1-channel" in Movieplayer --> no luck
When I play a sound file and check "Pulseaudio Volume Meter", I can see the volume for "Front Left", "Front Right", "Rear Left", "Rear Right", "Front Center", "Side Left", "Side Right" changing but I only have sound on rear panel.
