Title:
  MacBook only uses 2 of 4 speakers

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The sound on my MacBook (2.1) is not as good in Ubuntu as in Mac OS.
  I think this is because PulseAudio uses only 2 speakers. (I guess the MacBook has 2 speakers and 2 subwoofers.)
  In the volume prefs, it does show 4 sliders but only 2 of them seem to do something.
  The profile is "Surround analogique 4.0 Output" (Analogic surround 4.0 Output).
