Enable subwoofer on MSI Apache Pro Laptop (GE72 2QF)

[JDog2pt0]

Nevermind the title, just trying to hit all the keywords. This is a how-to for anyone looking to enable their subwoofer on a MSI Apache Pro Laptop (GE72 2QF). No replies are necessary. This is what worked for me. Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon

In HDAJackRetask
-override Pin 0x1b and assign it to Internal Speaker (LFE)
-Install Boot Override

Now you'll need to edit

Code: Select all

/etc/pulse/daemon.conf

(Sudo Nemo in terminal)

You have to un-comment all the lines below or else it won't work (remove the semicolon!!)

Code: Select all

remixing-produce-lfe = yes

(default is no)

Code: Select all

lfe-crossover-freq = 150

(default is 0) (This is subjective, this is the value at which all frequencies below the set value will play through the sub. I found 150 to be adequate).

Code: Select all

default-sample-channels = 3

(default 2)

Code: Select all

default-channel-map = front-left,front-right,lfe

(default no lfe)

Reboot to make sure everything applies. Enjoy
