Hey everyone,

I’m trying Linux on my laptop (Dell XPS 15 9500) but there is no sound from the subwoofers, which makes everything sound awful compared to windows. I’ve tried looking in the past, and made a Reddit post to no avail. (My original post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/10zyrzv/no_subwoofer_sound_on_dell_xps_15_9500/)

The issue is that the audio driver for my laptop is not set-up to use the 4 speakers. For the 9520 this was fixed with one line in the driver file. But adapting that line to the 9500 didn’t work.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

    My dude, what line in what file? Have you confirmed that they use the same audio chipset?

    Please provide more relevant information.
