Changing sound left/right balance impacts on front/back
Detailed description of the issue:
What happens: If an Asus STXII 7.1 sound card is installed and 5.1 is selected as mode, there is a problem. Moving the balance slider (left / right) moves the slider (front / back) slightly as well. The slider for lfe is grayed out, even when I enable the lfe remixing in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf In the speaker test, all 5.1 channels work fine, including the lfe.
No problems with pavucontrol, looks like a bug in Gnome settings. I have this problem in all current distributions with Gnome
Expected behavior: The balance sliders should not influence each other. Lfe slider should work. (And in a perfect world this would also activate lfe remixing and gives the user a cross over frequency option, but this is just an idea :)
I made a video: (You see the problem at the end of the video) soundsettings
Steps to reproduce:
- Open GNOME Settings
- Open the sound settings
- Change output to 5.1
- Move the slider from left to right or vis versa. Now the front to rear slider moves itself.
