I've recently acquired an Alienware M17X. This has surround sound onboard using an onboard nvidia sound card that's based on the HDA Intel.
I've got Ubuntu Karmic installed on it (via a 9.04 dist-upgrade). I had no success at all with the included alsa version 1.0.20 so last night I got the latest stable 1.0.21 and compiled it.
I've had success with headphones pluggined into Front Speaker Audio Out / headphone socket which is the first socket on the right hand side of the laptop. However the onboard sub woofer and speakers don't work at all.
Output from alsa-info.sh for 1.0.21 and the daily snapshot build from November 8th are available here:
Stable compiled version 1.0.21

Can anyone help me to get my onboard speakers working please?
FYI in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf I've got:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-eq which actually got the headphone /front speaker socket working.
Thanks,
Paul
