Comment 35 for bug 369036

> 1) set enable-lfe-remixing = yes (and uncomment) in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf;

I believe that option affects something unrelated to this bug.

If have no problem with getting an audio signal sent to the LFE speaker; I haven't noticed any application/configuration/... where sound isn't sent there as expected.

The only issue is the volume control on that speaker is defaulted low/zero/muted (don't recall which) so I simply can't hear the sounds being sent there. When I simply adjust the "Master Mono" volume control, the LFE speaker works fine.

(Perhaps the HW is extracting the LFE signal from the stereo signal sent to the main two speakers itself, so it doesn't need SW to concoct a 3rd channel explicitly for the LFE; that'd seem far more likely to work than expecting SW to come up with a non-standard 2.1 signal.)

> 2) make sure Master Mono is unmuted prior to GNOME session login

Do you have any tips how to do that? If "Master Mono" is unmuted, does that mean the regular volume control will suddenly start changing the "Master Mono" volume too, or are you just recommending setting "Master Mono" to something unmuted and say mid-range volume and leaving it there?

Thanks.
