Hi All, I just found this old thread and am having the same problem.
Ubuntu 13.10, Asus G73JH and no subwoofer (hasn't worked at all since 12.04 when I started with Ubuntu). Any help still out there?

Like the ASUS G73JW, the ASUS G73JH has a built-in subwoofer. This subwoofer works perfectly under Windows, but does not work at all under Ubuntu Linux 10.10. As a result, sound coming from the laptop speakers sounds thin and tinny on Ubuntu, instead of the rich, full sound under Windows.
