Ubuntu 13.10.

The problem is: the internal speakers don't work. I have no problem when I'm using the headphones. There is no hardware issue since in windows 8 everything works perfectly(external subwoofer included).

I'm trying to modify /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but I can't find the correct model to put into:

 options snd-hda-intel model=

The file HD-Audio-Models.txt doesn't contain the model for ALC668.

Some info:
