Central speaker playing the subwoofer sound, and subwoofer playing central speaker sound












1















I've a C-Media sound card - CM8738 and 5.1 speakers.



Everything seems to work pretty good, but there is a problem - two speakers are mixed - subwoofer is a central speaker, and central speaker is a subwoofer for Ubuntu.

          1- Run in terminal gksu gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf
          This is the file where the channel map is, enter you pasword when prompted, and the file will open.



          2- You are looking for the code that looks like this-



          [Mapping analog-surround-51]
          device-strings = surround51:%f
          channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
          paths-output = analog-output analog-output-speaker analog-output-desktop-speaker analog-output-lfe-on-mono
          priority = 8
          direction = output


          3- It may not be exactly the same, but we want to change only the channel-map order

          from -
          channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe

          to -
          channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,lfe,front-center



          Notice the order on lfe and front-center, lfe is the subwoofer, and front-center is your center speaker, if it displays another configuration, just swap position of lfe and front-center

          • I did. Ubuntu 12.04, but it didn't worked on previous versions also. I don't have amplituner, it's normal sound system from Creative so I guess, I will have to buy new sound card. Bad news. But I still have some hope.

          • It is probably not possible to map output jacks as input jacks with this method, is it? I tried, but the mic still seems not to be connected/existing in the Unity audio settings...
