Hmmm… That is strange. Pulsaudio using 5.1 surround is working for me on Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.04 using Audigy 2 ZS. In my case I’ve not had to install extra packages. (Also, this is on a Shuttle box with the Audigy card added into the PCI slot).

As a side note… 10.04 has had the best hardware support for me so far!

This may be a little late but I have also found that I have to either install gnome-alsamixer and make sure that the digital/analogue is ticked because for what ever reason Pulse audio mutes the sound card… I have had to do it on Audigy 4 and the Audigy 2 zs.

Excellent share!! I was using Hardy for last 2yrs and since last week my surround volume disappeared on acer 5920. After hours of googling i landed here and the catch was with pulseaudio… oh now i can relax for a while ..

you don’t need to restart the computer. I enable “disable-lfe-remixing = no”
