Description jfesparterov 2013-12-01 19:57:18 UTC 
I buy new laptop Asus, N550JV model. I configure subwoofer (http://askubuntu.com/questions/189304/no-sound-from-external-subwoofer-sonic-master-on-an-asus-n76vm). I don't work. Do its error realtek driver with ALC668 Chip?

Sorry for me english
Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2013-12-02 09:15:17 UTC 
It's because of the buggy BIOS.

Please give alsa-info.sh output.  Run it with --no-upload option and attach the generated file to bugzilla (don't paste).

The bass support for N550 was already added recently.  Did try 3.12.2 kernel?
Comment 2 jfesparterov 2013-12-02 11:26:42 UTC 
ok, I compiler 3.12.2 kernel and writer result.
Comment 3 jfesparterov 2013-12-02 12:49:15 UTC

Hrm, something wrong in alsa-info.sh output.
It doesn't show any DMI strings and PCI entries.
Did you install bash?
Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2013-12-02 13:03:20 UTC 
BTW, sorry, I thought the patch was sent to 3.12 stable, but it was only for 3.13.  You can try 3.13-rc2 if you want.

Or, as a quick workaround, prepare a file /lib/firmware/alsa/n550-bass containing the contents below:

[codec]
0x10ec0668 0x104311cd 0

[pincfg]
0x1a 0x80106111


Then pass "patch=,alsa/n550-bass" option to snd-hda-intel module.  (Don't strip a comma before "alsa//n550-bass".)

Also, don't pass model= option.  This doesn't work for your machine.
