Title:
  Subwoofer drops out when playback ends

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When audio is played in a 5.1 configuration then there is no sound coming from the Subwoofer channel by default.
  Functionality of the Subwoofer channel can be temporarily restored by switching the audio profile from 5.1 to stereo and back to 5.1 again.

  Changing the line in  /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
  from
  ;  enable-lfe-remixing = no
  to
  enable-lfe-remixing = yes

  Fixes this issue permanently with my current hardware configuration.

  
  ubuntu-bug wrongly identified the Nvidia HDMI port as the symptomatic card. The actual  playback device is the build in Intel HDA ALC1150 audio chipset.
