Hi Raymond,

Thanks to answer, I was fighting to get that "crap  ~ sounding"... So it
means my hdajackretask setup is not gut ? But I have a separed volume
control for subwoofer !

Now it looks like that :

autoconfig: line_outs=2 (0x18/0x1a/0x0/0x0/0x0) type:line
speaker_outs=1 (0x14/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
hp_outs=2 (0x15/0x16/0x0/0x0/0x0)
mono: mono_out=0x0
inputs:
Mic=0x19
Internal Mic=0x12

So you say *the easy way is to change the headset as [N/A] by
hdajackretask*, but how to do that, I even don't see any headset in
hdajackretask !? Which pin is it ? And where to change that badness
stuff, which file where ?

To be clear, could you explain "simply" how to setup that (el cheapo)
alien soup ?

P.S. I use only alsa, the card is reconised as ALC668 not ALC3661. I
fondamentaly still don't know why the way from #30 don't work by me ?

Title:
  Dell Alienware 14, Speaker sound output is mono until a headphone jack
  is plugged

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Here's the required release and package information:

      Description:    Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
      Release:        14.04

      Package: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-19-generic
      Version: 3.13.0-19.40

  When playing audio through speakers on my Alienware 14 2014, the sound
  output is in mono until I plug a headphone in any of the two available
  headphone jacks (obviously, the auto-mute option must be disabled).
  When I do so, the sound starts to play in stereo.

  I would love the sound output to be stereo by default and not be
  forced to plug anything to achieve that.

  Attached is the alsa-info.sh output for my machine.
