> As far as I can tell, I'm running the latest version of ALSA, since I'm on NixOS unstable, and Have you tried any other distribution, something more normal like latest Fedora or Ubuntu ? Does the subwoofers work there ? If you run Ubuntu/Fedora you can check the sound settings and pavucontrol there is selection of speakers usually 2.1 5.1... try those ? The moment you realize your "tee" is located in /run/current-system/sw/bin/tee it should ring a bell that something is wrong with this distribution. hdajackretask is creating a /lib/firmware/hda-jack-retask.fw (text file) which is attached to modprobe automatic and creates a file in /etc/modprobe.d/hda-jack-retask.conf which contains a line: options snd-hda-intel patch=hda-jack-retask.fw, hda-jack-retask.fw, hda-jack-retask.fw, hda-jack-retask.fw And the content of the hda-jack-retask.fw is something like this: [codec] 0x10138409 0x106b3300 0 [pincfg] 0x24 0x90100080 0x25 0x90100082 0x26 0x400000f0 0x27 0x400000f0 And you have to make sure those [pincfgs] match with your Windows10 registry of the driver's PinConfigOverride. You happen to have Windows running on that machine and can extract the pinconfigoverride or have .ini of the driver? I can help you compare those.
