I'm using a 2.1 speakers kit from Logitec but most of the time it is always detected as 2.0... π
So I decided to make some research and found a solution that works everytimes (on Ubuntu based distribs).
It seems to work also on Arch Linux, see comment from @ilikenwf.
As you can see, my audio output is not patched.
To fix the problem easily, I wrote a small script to run as root or using sudo
.
sudo bash pulse-audio-2.1-patch.sh
You will need to reboot to apply the changes.
Now you can see the result of the patch, for the best result, set your principal audio output volume close to the max then select the new audio output entry as shown below and set the volume you want. π
Now you can enjoy a much better and cleaner audio output. π π€

@Silver812, sorry I thought I had replied you already π€¦ββοΈ
In case you've ran the script twice or more by accident, simply delete duplicated lines from:
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf
/etc/pulse/default.pa
You can do it from the terminal by editing the files with
nano
orvi
as root or withsudo
.As it was just to patch something I haven't added checking code but if you want it, just let me know π
