So you fix the sound: 1. Open a Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T). 2. Write 'sudo su' to login as root. 3. Install via apt 'alsa-tools-gui'. 4. Logout via exit. 5. Write 'hdajackretask' and press enter. 6. Click on 'Intel Haswell HDMI' and select 'Realtek ALC3661'. 7. A lot of new entrys are visible. Select 'Show unconnected pins'. 8. Click on 'Overwrite' on Pin ID '0x1a'. 9. Click on the Context Menu and select 'Line out (Center/LFE)'. 10. Click on 'Apply now' and enter your user password. 11. Click on 'Install boot overwrite' to save the settings permanently. 12. Click on your Volume Icon on the top (Ubuntu Unity) and remove the marker 'mute'. 13. Reboot and your sound work perfect. ** Also affects: alsa-base Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1332900 Title: [Alienware 18, Realtek ALC668, Speaker, Internal] Playback problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-base/+bug/1332900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

0 down vote I've been able to get the latest alsa dev working (2016-04-02) by following the instructions here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa), installing the "alsa daily development build" and rebooting. If you've followed the instructions in my previous answer, you can simply "remove the boot profile" and reboot.

I am uncertain if HDA retask made permanent changes to the mapping? I chose boot override and then restarted. When relaunching hdajackretask i see that none of the overrides are checked. This sounds like a bug in hdajackretask. I still do not understand which nodes are for which speakers. This is what we need you to figure out. I suggest you try the following: Start hdajackretask and make sure show unconnected pins is checked. 1) Override all nodes to Not connected except the first one, which you set to Internal Speaker. Click Apply now. Verify that sound is not muted. Do a sound test and see if you hear anything. 2) Now, override all nodes to Not connected except the second one, which you set to Internal Speaker. Click Apply now. Verify that sound is not muted. Do a sound test and see if you hear anything. 3) Override all nodes to Not connected except the third one... ...and continue until you have tested all pins. If a pin can't be set to Internal Speaker because it does not show in the drop down, you can skip that pin. During testing, other I/O will disappear (Mic, Headphones etc). This is expected. If you at any point hear output from the primary speakers, let us know which node it was. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1332900 Title: [Alienware 18, Realtek ALC668, Speaker, Internal] Playback problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1332900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am uncertain if HDA retask made permanent changes to the mapping? I chose boot override and then restarted. When relaunching hdajackretask i see that none of the overrides are checked. Is this because changes were already made and are now in effect? I still do not understand which nodes are for which speakers. The other Alienware bug guy said 0x1a is subwoofer? I probably dont need a separate volume control for subwoofer, as I dont even think windows has this. I just need sound to come out of the 2 missing speakers. So, I assume 0x1a is for Subwoofer? How do I get sound out of other speakers? Are they left and right or front and back? And are you saying one or two of the pins from hdajackretask is assigned to internal speakers? I read the other bug report, but I do not understand fully how pins work, or how to locate and assign missing speakers. I just want sound to play out of all internal speakers. Right now I can get good sound from Headphones, that is not a problem so far, but sound is bad quality, probably because all of it coming through subwoofer. How does it know how to split sound to the (2) other speakers in addition to subwoofer? Also, what should my .asoundrc file look like for a 2.1 surround setup? And, does daemon.conf make a difference, or that is only related to the controls in PulseAudio? I think I need some sort of simple instructions because I am not a hardware expert, and do not fully understand how the hardware is mapped by default.

RE: [Bug 1332900] Re: [Alienware 18, Realtek ALC668, Speaker, Internal] Playback problem
Update: I reinstalled alsa-daily and I was able to get 'hda jack retask' to function. I choose show unconnected pins and advanced override. Raymond suggested a couple of nodes that might be the internal speakers for this model. I tried experimenting by checking override and setting to speaker, internal etc changing various settings. I am not sure what I should set these to or if they are just labels? Does it matter? Regardless, it does not seem to affect anything in speaker-test. One thing I should note though is that somehow now the speaker-test has sound only coming out when displaying LFE. Previously sound was only coming out of one channel, however sound would come out of that channel while displaying front-left, front-right...etc. Nothing has really changed though in regards to the actual sound, only what is displayed on the screen while testing has changed, so maybe just the config? So, now I have only sound coming out of LFE (as before) but now it only comes out when LFE is displayed, rather than playing sound while the other channel names are displayed. Secondly, When I use override, I see that it adds a control to alsamixer, however it doesnt add a full bar, but rather just says 00 and is at a fixed position in alsamixer. I am uncertain if this is normal. At this point I dont fully understand if all of these are making up one collective, or if I should be able to adjust each one separate. I would assume because it is a laptop that there should only be one Master control in alsamixer?...and that sound should be automatically mapped to each present speaker. Let me know if that is correct. If that is the case, then I am still hung up with detection of those missing speakers. Why are they not detected automatically and am I on the right track using 'hdajackretask' to get them detected/assigned? I could not find a guide on using hdajackretask, so I just need to know what settings to use and i assume I just trial and error by hitting apply, then doing speaker-test to see if any others show sound? If that is the case, however ...why was i told i was getting sound on (4) of those speakers, but in actuality it only came out of (1) of them, while displaying each one. I am just trying to understand why it does not display the actual speaker which is playing. The only idea i had was that sound is right now mapped only to the subwoofer and so when it does the test right now for each speaker, the subwoofer receives the test for each instead of the missing speakers. So, I need to know how to reassign it so that the subwoofer only receives the test for the subwoofer, and the other 2 speakers receive their own test signal. I hope this makes sense. P.S. - Many of the suggestions have to do with the Headphone jacks, but my problem is related to the internal speakers. As far as I understand, they are separate issues?

you cannot use dynamic reconfig(apply now) if you are not using debugged

you need to use set as boot default which use early patching and require
reboot
you can just add the subwoofer only

One other thing I noticed is upon startup/load of Ubuntu, at the top of the screen it says something about snd hda codec module has bad taint. This is the alsa daily build module. It is printing an warning message to inform you that you're running a module that was not compiled with the rest of the kernel. You can ignore it. tee: /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig: No such file or directory Hmm, maybe this is related to the daily HDA DKMS too, somehow. There has been some reorganising upstream w r t the devices. Try uninstalling the daily DKMS again, reboot, and retry. Are there any guides for this hdajackretask as to how I can do what you say, otherwise how might I get started experimenting with hdajackretask?

I tried to re-submit the bug report but I am not really sure what the alsa-base.conf should look like or how to reinstall/overwrite. It should be noted that I had this problem immediately upon installing Ubuntu, so nothing I have changed has been the cause. I have been attempting to fix it but it is hard to understand why it cannot detect this from a default install. I was though able to update the alsa daily package and now it shows ALC3661 so that part at least shows right now, but still trying to understand how it doesnt register the laptop speakers. Let me know if you have any further troubleshooting I can do...

It should be Realtek ALC3661 however it shows up as ALC668. Sound only comes out of 1 Channel, which appears to be subwoofer. Unlike the other bug, closing the lid appears to have no effect on sound. When doing the bug test, it said sound would alternate between 2 channels, however I only heard one consistent sound. It did not alternate. I believe it is playing from the subwoofer only. I would love to know more about how to route the sound to the proper speakers. I attempted modifications to daemon.conf in pulse and .asoundrc but have not found the correct configuration yet. This laptop is equipped with 2.1 Surround and should play sound accordingly. Also, alsamixer only shows (1) speaker control, whether this is normal I am unsure.
