Description mik30 2021-09-24 12:04:25 UTC
SUMMARY
Creative SB X-Fi Fatal1ty Sound Card PCI is not setup correctly.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot 18.04.5 oder 21.04 from stick.
2. Go to Systemsettings Audio

OBSERVED RESULT
In the Hardware Audio tab is no option to configure the
Audio output for the Creative SB X-Fi Fatal1ty Sound Card.
One has to spereately start Pulse Audio program to configure
the hardware output to analog 5.1. In addition one has to start
Alsamixer to unmute the center channel.


EXPECTED RESULT
The Audio setup pannel should automatically offer
the available configuration options for the output and
the input sources. In addition to that all channels
of the selected output source should be unmuted and
the mute setting should be selectable besides the respective
volume of the channel.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 18.04.5 and 21.04

   1st: Start System Settings:
   Emacs!


   2. Goto Audio Hardware and tehere is no way to konfiguere it
   correctly:
   Emacs!

   3.One has to start sperately PulseAudio Volume Control:
   Emacs!

   4. Only there one can do part of the *real* configuration of the
   output that should be in the system settings:
   Emacs!

   And suddenly the System Settings dialog shows the necessary options:
   Emacs!

   5. But that is still not complete! One has to also start Alsamixer to
   unmute the mutet channels:
   Emacs!


   Result: All of the above must be selectable from the settings dialog
   by default!

3.One has to sperately start PulseAudio Volume Control:

4. Only there one can do part of the *real* configuration of the
output profile that should be in the system settings:
Emacs!


And suddenly the System Settings dialog shows the necessary options:
Emacs!


5. But that is still not complete! One has to also start Alsamixer to
unmute the mutet channels (center and side):
Emacs!



Result: All of the above must be selectable from the settings dialog
by default!
