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. > Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2014 05:21:52 +0000 > From:
