Thanks for the pointer, The pin for the subwoofer is 0x1a. Attached is a screenshot with the seetings I used for the override.
With this the subwoofer works fine and the alsamixer control "Bass Speaker" allows toggling it. But I still need to plug the headset on the jack to get stereo. I'll get myself a headset with inline mic to discover the last pin. ** Attachment added: "1397571041.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1302090/+attachment/4084485/+files/1397571041.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop 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: New 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.
