Hi, first sorry for my english cuz it is not my native language. I was trying to fix my problem but i had to remove completly alsa from my 15.10 Ubuntu with kernel 4.4 My soundcard is usb maya u5 After each reboot i have to go thru GUI pulseaudio and choose diffrent profile for my output. More than that if i use spotify on profile 2.1 and stop playing music i cant get sound when i press play, i have go to pulseaudio settings and choose diffrent profile for example 5.1. My card have like 12 profiles and its really annoying to change it everytime i stop playing audio. I was looking for help on #pulseaudio channel but noone was able to help me.
pulseaudio don't like the multi channel volume control you have add PCM Capture Source in pulseaudio input conf files https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/tree/src/modules/alsa/mixer/paths what are the usage of two PCM Playback Volume Controls Card hw:1 'U5'/'VIA Technologies Inc.

Can you help me fix this Raymond cuz i dont feel confident with linux yet?
do you mean this patch still not fix the problem ? https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/src/modules/alsa?id=fcbbe34e001b9bee3e73a663e9bf9ddc11c0a1d5
You have to post output of alsa-info.sh and pactl list https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/tree/src/modules/alsa/mixer/paths/analog-input.conf.common#n110 The easy way is to change PCM Capture Source to Capture Source in alsa driver, otherwise you have to add elememt PCM Capture Souce and those corresponding option PCM Capture Source:inputs to pulseaudio conf files
here is alsa-info.sh: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4d08149b5fab1a43c9b0555ed457fd337eb258ea and here is pactl list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15272803/

I have 5.1 card but only 2 speakrs and headphones speaker-test -c6 -t wav -D surround51:CARD=U5 this command doesnt work becouse device is busy i run it with pasuspender -- speaker-test -c6 -t wav -D surround51:CARD=U5 and i hear front left from FRONT CENTER and "front right" from SIDE RIGHT
But i dont get it why You want me to edit my alsa configs if my alsa works correct (when i uninstall pulseaudio) am i missing something here?
if i run 'pasuspender -- speaker-test -c2 -twav -Dhw:U5' i get voice everytime. But then i have go to pulseaudio gui settings and find working profile. Currently used profile likes to break everytime i stop music

pasuspender -- speaker-test -d -c4 -t wav -D surround40:CARD=U5 returns bad argument pasuspender speaker-test -d -c3 -t wav -D surround21:CARD=U5 i hear output but only from FRONT LEFT aplay --dump-hw-params -Dhw:CARD=U5,0 anystereo.wav WORKS fine I will give you good example what happend like 5 min ago. I was listening to spotify. Pause for 5 sec and PLAY again - Silence. I put my jack into another ports (rear, center) still silence then i back to my FRONT. typed pact list sinks short - returned: "32 alsa_output.usb-VIA_Technologies_Inc._MAYA_U5-00.analog-surround-41 module-alsa-card.c s16le 5ch 44100Hz RUNNING " But i have this LED diode on my USB CARD http://www.audiotrack.co.kr/images/maya_u5_en_11.jpg It blinks when card is playing. But now it doesnt even when pactl responded with RUNNING then i typed again pasuspender speaker-test -d -c3 -t wav -D surround21:CARD=U5 and after i CTRL+C my sound returned to spotify... i guess its some pulseaudio problem
http://www.audiotrack.co.kr/images/maya_u5_en_15.jpg Im using Microphone Headphones And Analog Front
Another thing i found lets say i choose profile http://imgur.com/4fG5L4b I have silence on this profile even when music is playing from spotify. i tryed to type pasuspender -- spearkertest ... few times. And after random quantity of tryes my sound is back on this profile so i dont have to "search" for working profile. Why is so? its surely pulseaudio thing...

Yes my led blinks when aplay --dump-hw-params -Dhw:CARD=U5,1 anystereo.wav
This time i tryed to find something in pacmd, after http://pastebin.com/Ay0Bdqjw sound appers.
I think pulseaudio suspend my card and cant wake it up even "pulseaudio thinks its not suspender" thats why my manualny commands works after few tries but thats annoying
Also another odd thing now i done something like this: 1. Start spotify (had sound) 2. Pause spotify 3. Start VLC Movie ( no sound) 4. Unpause spotify (had sound in spotify) 5. Start VLC (had sound in both spotify and VLC)
(In reply to Matthew from comment #31) > Yes my led blinks when aplay --dump-hw-params -Dhw:CARD=U5,1 anystereo.wav you need similar fix for iec958 device red laser turn on optical spdif when aplay -Diec958:CARD=U5 anystereo.wav http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commitdiff;h=a9b1299556598fed12d0d42c80aaa933aced8a42;hp=efda3e2bc766b4147f35f4b006d315ea7b3c55fe
can you post pulseaudio verbose log ? any warning message when PCM Volume controls have no dB info you need recompile alsa driver to produce debug output to find out those two PCM Volume control belong to which UnitID bDescriptorSubtype 4 (MIXER_UNIT) bUnitID 10 bNrInPins 3 baSourceID( 0) 1 USB Streaming baSourceID( 1) 7 Feature Unit 8 Feature Unit 2 Microphone baSourceID( 2) 19 Feature Unit 15 Line Connector bDescriptorSubtype 5 (SELECTOR_UNIT) bUnitID 14 bNrInPins 4 baSource( 0) 9 Feature Unit 8 Feature Unit 2 Microphone baSource( 1) 18 Feature Unit 15 Line Connector baSource( 2) 26 Feature Unit 25 Analog Unit baSource( 3) 17 Feature Unit 16 SPDIF Interface
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/sound/usb/mixer.c
when you compile alsa driver with debug=full usb_audio_dbg(state->chip, "[%d] FU [%s] ch = %d, val = %d/%d/%d\n", cval->head.id, kctl->id.name, cval->channels, cval->min, cval->max, cval->res); usb print debug output in system log for those MU, PU, SU, ... and the cooresponding control name
Raymond i think i will pass, im linux user for 2 weeks and kinda dont have skills to do this like this already, maybe in some future. If alsa works fine for me i will just remove pulseaudio and problem is solved if there is no normal way to get this work properly
Thanks for Your time.
