Bug description

Only right speaker is working

Steps to reproduce

Happens in HP Envy 17j-005eo laptop with soundcard: HDA Intel PCH Chip: IDT 92HD91BXX

Expected behavior

Left speaker should also be working along with the Beats audio subwoofer

Additional information

Codec: IDT 92HD91BXX
has an old bug report about the 4.1 internal speaker system. For more info check https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49391

Solution: I suspect that modprobe option hp-envy-ts-bass 5 would get the speakers working

But Archwiki suggests retasking 2 jacks for other HP laptop models with similar Sigmatel audio codec + 5 speakers

[ArchWiki:Archive - ArchWiki 1](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_Envy_TouchSmart_15j#Sound)
0x0d - Internal speaker
0x0f - Internal speaker
0x10 - Internal speaker (LFE)

[Laptop/HP - ArchWiki 1](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_Envy_15)
Audio – j013sg and j082sf

hdajackretask in the package extra/alsa-tools can be used to remap the unconnected 0x0f pin to Internal Speaker, and the 0x10 pin to the subwoofer (Internal Speaker LFE).
