OK. But what about pavucontrol settings (if you are using pulseaudio)?

[Just to show you how small things can stuff you up..... I have a 5.1 
sound system. I noticed a while back that 3 of the speakers weren't 
producing any sound - but I shrugged this off because the Creative Labs 
setup is a bit aged. I was looking thru the catalogue of my favourite 
computer shop a few minutes ago with the intention of ordering a new 
Creative sound package when a thought occurred to me (happens to me 
occasionally for some reason.....). I got down on my knees, pulled out 
all the RCA plugs for the speakers from the woofer box, replugged them, 
twisted them round and round - and suddenly I had all the 6 speakers 
working! :-) ]
