How to install hda-jack-retask in 14.04?

Question

I recently upgraded to 14.04 from 12.04. My HP has Beats (cue groans of pain, as it's just a gimmick).

In 12.04, I used hda-jack-retask to fix it. However, as far as I can tell he has not updated it to work with 14.04. Is there a different tool out there to get Beats to work with Linux?

Solution

Please have a look at:

PPA description

[...]

Note: as of Ubuntu 13.10, hda-jack-retask is part of alsa-tools.

Just install the alsa-tools-gui package from the regular archive and start hdajackretask.

So simply open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) and run:

sudo apt-get install alsa-tools-gui
