Hi Daniel,
I'm guessing I shouldn't assign this pin to LFE, then? And maybe
assign
it to "internal speaker (back)"? I'm at a loss for knowing what to
assign to what.
But this is all moot, since the real problem, it seems to me, is
that
clicking "apply now" or "install boot override" won't work on
NixOS.
The first issue is that `hdajackretask` apparently can't find my
copies
of `tee` and `mv`. I can run these programs just fine from a
shell, and
`which tee` shows their locations in NixOS:
`/run/current-system/sw/bin/tee`, but `hdajackretask` can't find
them,
for some reason, and `Apply now` fails. The second is that, even
if I
run run the /tmp script manually, nothing seems to change with my
system. I have a feeling `hdajackretask` needs to do something
beyond
what is in the `/tmp` script, and that it can't do that, since it
can't
find my system utilities.
Thanks for that link, though—there's some useful stuff in there.
Are there other ways of connecting unused pins that don't use
hdajackretask? Like a script I can run or a sequence of commands?
Best,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
- Running hdajackretask, from the alsaTools package. It seems
to correctly
recognize that there are some unassigned pins, and even gives
me the option of
assigning them to "internal speaker (LFE)," which sounds like
it could be a
bass output.
LFE usually stands for Low Frequency Effects, i.e. a subwoofer
channel on a
movie or game. There are some tips on surround sound at
http://www.volkerschatz.com/noise/alsa.html
I don't know which 'md' program they are referring to, but you
can install tee
separately.
Cheers!
Daniel
