Hey..! Thanks for the prompt reply guys..!
diwic: I tested the playback with the dkms package for my 13.04 installation. Seemingly, the audio output has increased but only slightly. Also, from what I could gather from other sources, this laptop shall provide adequate audio output from its speakers itself ( without the sub-woofers i.e.) which is not the case. Raymond: Well, I could locate an appropriate package for raring, but don't know what to manipulate in the mentioned application. On selecting 'Show unconnected pins', I see an entry for 0x17 and on it, it says 'Not connected'. Selecting 'Override' gives me options for 'Line out' and 'Internal speaker'. Help me proceed with the same.
