I have found now a workaround, which solves subwoofer problem under ubuntu 10.10. Here is what I did:
1. installed David Henningssons alsa-hda-diwic-asus-g73jh- dkms_1.0.23.diwic_all.deb package (thanks David) see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/728161/comments/5 Download: http://people.canonical.com/~diwic/temp/alsa-hda-diwic-asus- g73jh-dkms_1.0.23.diwic_all.deb 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=auto at the end of this file 4. opened file /etc/modules and added snd-hda-intel model=auto at the end of this file 5. Then I rebooted laptop. Subwoofer is now working. I have the same rich, full sound as under Windows. Unforunately above mentioned solution ist not working under ubuntu 11.04 -- 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
