I suppose people take it more seriously when people start asking for how to downgrade to an older unsupported version. The fact remains that the people who are having issues with Gotham are even fewer than the people who had issues with Frodo when it was released, so things aren't exactly getting worse.

Quote:I agree that getting Pulseaudio to work the way you want is not maybe as straight-forward as it could be (e.g. the fact that you have to set it to stereo mode in order to get passthrough working, did you check that?),yes. I read the wiki top to bottom several time. I've tried EVERYTHING. nothing has worked. It may just be my system, but like I said, there is nothing particularly unique about my system. its a pc running ubuntu with a hdmi port out of the graphics card. whoop.
Quote:For what it's worth it should be possible to add the environment variable to /etc/environment if I'm not mistaken, that way you don't have to modify any shortcuts.if that works? why isn't it in the wiki?
Quote:Finally, the wiki explains clearly that if you for whatever reason can't get Pulseaudio to work you can either uninstall it or use the environment variable. The reason for the environment variable is that it's not possible to change to ALSA once Pulseaudio is loaded, only the other way around (or something like that).I tried uninstalling pulse. That did weird things to the system including completely breaking audio for everything else.
Quote:You'd think if there was an easier solution it would be used by now.I remain skeptical. I can think of plenty of easier solutions (i.e. the two above) and have trouble understanding why they wouldn't work. I admit to not being a developer, but that just makes me think there are things I haven't thought of that should be possible.

You seem to be forgetting that you didn't buy this service from us.

Why can't there be a setting that just says "this will require a restart" or even make it a configurable option in the userdata/advancedsettings.xml
More importantly, it worked perfectly in frodo. why is it so hard to make it work in gotham?
