I have meanwhile also found a workaround for ubuntu 11.04 1. installed linux-alsa-driver from repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa see http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.38/
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) note: at the moment there are only packages for kernel 2.6.38-8 available 2. opened file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and replaced a) entry ; enable-lfe-remixing = no with enable-lfe-remixing = yes and b) entry ; default-sample-channels = 2 with default-sample-channels = 6 3. opened file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and added options snd-hda-intel model=basic at the end of this file 4. opened file /etc/modules and added snd-hda-intel model=basic at the end of this file 5. Then I rebooted laptop. Subwoofer is now working unter ubuntu 11.04 (with same rich, full sound as under Windows). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728161 Title: Laptop subwoofer is not functional on ASUS G73JH -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
