Sound plays fine from the inbuilt speakers (Bang & Olufsen ICEPower) but when I plug in the subwoofer it only seems to play audio from the right speaker. Admittedly it is a deeper sound but it doesn't have quite the same impact as when I've used it within Windows.

As you can see, the subwoofer panel is greyed out.
How do I get the sub woofer working as a separate device providing a bass boost rather than just using the right channel?
