Bass speaker doesn't work on MSI GE600

Hi.

I'm using MSI GE600 laptop. It has built in subwoofer but it is not working. After typing "alsamixer -c 0" in terminal I can see bass speaker column, but I can't change volume which is set at 0. Here are some outputs which may be helpful:

$ amixer

Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
  Mono:

  Front Right: Playback 66816 [102%] [on]
Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
  Capabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joined
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Capture 0 - 65536
  Front Left: Capture 31008 [47%] [on]
  Front Right: Capture 31008 [47%] [on]
