It makes no difference if i enable/disable Pulseaudio. lspci: 01:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.I change the device in Pulseaudio from Digital Stereo (Working) to 5.1 Surround Actual Results: 2.My Sound disappears 3. Following messages in /var/log/messages Nov 28 23:06:54 pc01 pulseaudio[14802]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! Nov 28 23:06:54 pc01 pulseaudio[14802]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_emu10k1'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Nov 28 23:06:54 pc01 pulseaudio[14802]: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. Expected Results: 5.1 Sound as i had before with Suse 11.1
I used Gnome and got this Error. No sound just sometimes a crackling. I disabled Pulseaudio. No change in Gnome. Still no sound. I changed to KDE. And there was sound, but without the front speakers. I changed the IEC958 OpticalRaw Switch to enabled and now i have 5.1 sound. But still only in KDE. Gnome is still without sound and pulseaudio is unusable for me.
After a reeboot i have 5.1 sound in Gnome too. But still only without pulseaudio. If i enable Pulseaudio the 5.1 sound disappears.
OK, this appears like a PA issue...
11.2 is out of support. As such it is hard to reproduce your problem on current software stack. Please open a new issue if you still can reproduce it on current releases.
