I am uncertain if HDA retask made permanent changes to the mapping? I chose boot override and then restarted. When relaunching hdajackretask i see that none of the overrides are checked. Is this because changes were already made and are now in effect? I still do not understand which nodes are for

Update: I reinstalled alsa-daily and I was able to get 'hda jack retask' to function. I choose show unconnected pins and advanced override. Raymond suggested a couple of nodes that might be the internal speakers for this model. I tried experimenting by checking "override" and setting to "speake

Just got back from vacation and continuing this effort to resolve. In reviewing your notes, Do you understand that My headphone jacks sound fine, however the internal speakers seem to be mapped wrong or unmapped? I just need to know how to find which speakers are on what nodes and also how to group

Update: I have reinstalled alsa-base.conf as instructed. I ran the hdajackretask program with the "show unconnected pins" option. Upon hitting apply, I get the following message: tee: /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig: No such file or directory I assume it is looking for a reconfig file in that d

Ok. I will start by trying to install alsa-tools-gui package. One other thing I noticed is upon startup/load of Ubuntu, at the top of the screen it says something about snd hda codec "module has bad taint". It is difficult to read exactly because it flashes only for a second during load. I am unsur

Thanks for the response. Are there any guides for this hdajackretask as to how I can do what you say, otherwise how might I get started experimenting with hdajackretask? I am a fast learner, but new to both Ubuntu and Linux-based systems. If you have some information on how I can do this that would

I tried to re-submit the bug report but I am not really sure what the alsa-base.conf should look like or how to reinstall/overwrite. It should be noted that I had this problem immediately upon installing Ubuntu, so nothing I have changed has been the cause. I have been attempting to fix it but it i

Public bug reported: Bug seems similar to another reported bug with Alienware 18 laptops. It should be Realtek ALC3661 however it shows up as ALC668. Sound only comes out of 1 Channel, which appears to be subwoofer. Unlike the other bug, closing the lid appears to have no effect on sound. When do
