Inspiron XPS Subwoofer

Sun Oct 21 12:18:15 PDT 2007

Hello,

I have a Dell Inspiron XPS and so far I have gotten almost everything I 
wanted to get working, working. But I am stuck. I noticed that when 
playing music it sounded really tinny compared to Linux/Windows, and I 
realized it was because it isn't using the subwoofer in the battery. 
What do I need to do to get this to work? I am using snd_ich as the 
driver. dmesg & sndstat below.

Thanks!
