Title:
  [Alienware 18, Realtek ALC3661] Sound only comes out of subwoofer, and
  requires lid to be closed then opened to come out of speakers at all

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  To get any sound out of the speakers I need to close the lid of the
  laptop, let it go to sleep, then re-open it. When I unlock the
  computer the sound will then work from the speakers.

  Sound from the speakers is not using all of the speakers, and appears
  to only come out the subwoofer channel or center channel on the bottom
  of the laptop. There's no sound from the 'speakers' on the front.
