[SOLVED] HP Envy 15J Beats Audio

I have a HP Envy I got a few years back. The specs of the laptop are still pretty decent for the most part, and I decided I should try run Arch on it. The only issue I'm having is with the speakers.

According to the specs of the laptop, it says it has "Beats Audio with 4 speakers and two subwoofers", though on Arch it only seems to use the front 2 speakers, resulting in low audio with a loss of quality. The driver it uses under Windows is "IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver", would it be possible to make the other speakers on the laptop function?

Re: [SOLVED] HP Envy 15J Beats Audio

After some more searching, I found out about hdajackretask, and it turns out someone even added a wiki article for the HP TouchSmart 15j that actually explains how to fix the sound. My laptop is basically the exact same as this, aside from lacking a touchscreen, so this worked for me, and I've marked this as solved.
