I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit with a Creative X-Fi Titanium PCI-E card. In the sound mixer I have it setup for 7.1 + mono input (mic) and when I test each channel I get sound in all including the LFE. After a fresh install, the center and LFE are always muted so I unmute them via alsamixer.
LFE does work in Banshee media player when watching movies.
My audio options in the launcher are:
PulseAudio Software
ALSA Software on default
I get 7 channels working properly but no LFE channel.
This is using ALSA:
This is using PulseAudio:
But with PulseAudio I get this message:
Any ideas? Do I need to install some other OpenAL library?
Let me know if any other information is needed.
