Bug Description

The computer used is a MSI GX740
lspci report :
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)
cat /proc/asound/card*/codec\#*|grep -i codec :
Codec: Realtek ALC888
Codec: LSI ID 1040
Codec: ATI R6xx HDMI

I get sound from left speaker and subwoofer but nothing on right speaker
If i plug a headphone, stereo is ok and reacting as expected when playing withbalance control

i tried model tweaking through alsa-base.conf
3stack-hp,3stack-6ch-intel,3stack-2ch-dig,3stack-6ch,3stack-dig,laptop-eapd,targa-dig,targa-8ch-dig
but i only managed to get worst results with these settings
