Pulseaudio + audio interface + Analog surround 4.0

Post by tjoh311 »

Hello,
I'm trying to set up my Universal Audio Volt 476 audio interface, and came across an odd issue. When doing general computing (youtube, music files, editing videos), it seems Pulseaudio recognizes the four audio outputs on my audio interface as surround sound. Analog Surround 4.0 in the audio profile setting of the sound control UI. Shows that there is a drop down for other profiles, but no other ones exist. I would just like the standard 2 channel stereo, if anyone has any insights, thanks in advance.
