Bug Description
I have a new laptop HP-15-BS576TX which has this Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio.
00:1f.3 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio [8086:9d71] (rev 21)
The laptop sound works perfectly fine in Windows 10 with realtek drivers. However, in Ubuntu 17.10, the volume is significantly low, that I've to scroll the volume slider above 100% mark in pulseaudio to the maximum to get acceptable level of sound. I suspect the sound quality also is low (mono-like), may be not coming from all speakers (perhaps subwoofer exist for this model). Also alsamixer shows the speaker volume at the maximum.
Details about the audio hardware are below:

I have gone through Linux kernel sources ALSA and Snd-HDA lists and unable to find any optimizations for this laptop.
