Comment 12 for bug 728161

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
