I bought a HP ENVY 6-1060ss, it has 2 front speakers and a built-in subwoofer. I can't get the subwoofer to work. I have looked around for answers, and found quite a lot, but still, nothing works.

I have already tried (from already answered questions):

  • Edited /etc/pulse/daemon.conf setting enable-lfe-remixing: from no to yes, and the channels number from 2 to 3.

  • Edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, adding options snd-hda-intel model=hp-zephyr and options snd-hda-intel model=ref.

Any other thoughts?

Did you also try?

 sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/extra-hdmi.conf

-- add the lines below:

[Mapping analog-surround-21]
device-strings = surround40:%f
channel-map = front-left,front-right,lfe,lfe
paths-output = analog-output analog-output-speaker
priority = 7
direction = output

Reboot. You should have an extra mode in your "hardware" menu of the "sound" menu named "Analog surround 2.1"

can you do an lspci and tell me which sound card is your PC using?

This worked for me on my HP Envy w/ Beats Audio: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-859769.html Ubuntu now recognizes and uses the center-channel (so-called) subwoofer.

"hdajackretask" worked for me

See http://www.smittix.co.uk/beats-audio-subwoofer-not-working-correctly-ubuntu-14-04/ and snd-hda-intel and the HP Envy 17
