A cowardly newbie, I didn't touch the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
file but just changed the number of channel to 6 in alsamixer
on the terminal.
With a little courage, I've just tried default-sample-channels = 6
and erased the semicolon before the line as somebody instructed. Now I can see every speaker on the Settings. But the volume of the subwoofer isn't controlable. This shitty OS is eating my time and soul.
