Yes, it works! Things look a little bit different in alsamixer, though. Now instead of 'Enabled' it displays 'Line Out' in the auto-mute feature, but the functionality remains intact. Also 'Speaker' is set to 0 and cannot be changed. I'm attaching a screenshot as reference.
I haven't seen any other unwanted effects from the override. I'm able to adjust the volume using the fn keys and from the sound settings, as always. Will report back if I find something else. Thanks for your help guys. ** Attachment added: "alsamixer.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1302090/+attachment/4169107/+files/alsamixer.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302090 Title: Dell Alienware 14, Speaker sound output is mono until a headphone jack is plugged Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Here's the required release and package information: Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) Release: 14.04 Package: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-19-generic Version: 3.13.0-19.40 When playing audio through speakers on my Alienware 14 2014, the sound output is in mono until I plug a headphone in any of the two available headphone jacks (obviously, the auto-mute option must be disabled). When I do so, the sound starts to play in stereo. I would love the sound output to be stereo by default and not be forced to plug anything to achieve that. Attached is the alsa-info.sh output for my machine.
