Title:
  [Alienware 18, Realtek ALC3661, Speaker, Internal] Playback problem

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I tried to fix the alsa-base.conf, however I am not sure what the
  default configuration should be.Either way, I do hear the test tone
  but it doesnt alternate between speakers/channels. It just sounds one
  constant tone. The same happens when i do a speaker-test, i get pink
  noise through the same output, even though it reads front-left, front-
  right, center, lfe ....it plays sound while displaying those 4,
  however the sound comes through the lfe from what it sounds like (the
  sound only plays through one output).

  If you have a preferred alsa-base.conf or a way for me to overwrite
  it, let me know and we can proceed. I modified it due to this problem.
  Since installing Ubuntu I have not had the sound working properly so I
  have been trying configuration edits (with no success so far).

  I noticed no subdevices are displayed.

  I am not sure how the card decides where to send sound to but the
  interesting thing is that when testing in Pulseaudio I get sound
  playing when clicking front-left, front-right but nothing from
  clicking subwoofer. And again, the front-left and front-right all play
  the tone through the same speaker..theres no difference and apparently
  my guess is not all of my speakers are being detected as available
  options because I also only have (1) speaker control in Alsamixer.

  Surely there must be some way to get 2.1 speakers correctly
  configured?
