Activate rear speakers on HP laptops

Some laptops, mostly from the HP brand, are equipped with rear and front speakers to improve the sound experience. Sadly, they aren't detected on Linux. The reason is because those speakers are under "unconnected" ports, which makes Linux not using them because it considers them to be inactive. So, I made this little tutorial to (try to) get them working.

Installation

• First, you have to install hdajackretask to activate the hidden ports, which you can find under the package alsa-tools on most distributions.

Debian:

sudo apt install alsa-tools
