Hi All,

I just found this old thread and am having the same problem.

Ubuntu 13.10, Asus G73JH and no subwoofer (hasn't worked at all since
12.04 when I started with Ubuntu).

Any help still out there?

Mark

Title:
  Laptop subwoofer is not functional on ASUS G73JH

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  This issue is nearly identical to that reported in Bug 673051, but on
  a different ASUS laptop model. Like the ASUS G73JW, the ASUS G73JH has
  a built-in subwoofer. This subwoofer works perfectly under Windows,
  but does not work at all under Ubuntu Linux 10.10. As a result, sound
  coming from the laptop speakers sounds thin and tinny on Ubuntu,
  instead of the rich, full sound under Windows.
