I'm having a problem with my Ubuntu and my subwoofer. It won't work until I go into sound preferences -> output tab and re-select the device. Two devices are displayed:
1: Internal Audio analog surround 5.1 (this is the one I have to use) 2: HDA NVidia Digital Stera (HDMI)
The problem is that this isn't something I have to do just once after boot. No, I have to do this everytime I want to listen to anything. IE: Whenever Rythmbox changes songs, the new song will not play through the subwoofer. I have to change the prefence on every single song. OR, whenever I watch a video, or open youtube, or do anything.
And it's not really just the subwoofer. It's bass in general.
Basically, I can't even listen to music anymore because I always always always always have to re-set the sound preference on every song.
Now, I never had a problem before until I added a bluetooth adapter (dongle?) to my computer. After the drivers installed for that, my sound preferences won't work.
Why won't it just always work?
Please help if you can. Thanks.

This is just a guess, but in
/etc/pulse/daemon.confsetenable-lfe-remixing: notoyesand make sure it is not commented (has no semicolon in front of it). If you made changes, save them and restart your system (or just pulseaudio).
