I'm kind of frustrated. After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 I realized that the quality (especially the subwoofers) of my JBL speaker have a very poor quality. So I googled for it and found that:
Do I need any extra drivers for the Realtek waves maxx audio on my Dell XPS 17?
It had no effect in the first place, but after the updates that I installed yesterday the good sound was back! I was excited! I put my laptop to hibernate over night and this morning the sound was gone and the quality was poor again... What can I do?
EDIT:
I have a script that I must run after every wake up from hibernate:
pulseaudio -k
sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel model=asus-model4
pulseaudio --startafter running it everything is ok. It is annoying but I can live with that...

When the quality sound gone, set mute to your volume and turn off mute again. This quality sound stuff happens to me also and I repair it easily like that.
Also you can check alsamixer. To open alsamixer, write terminal "alsamixer" and you will see some of the sound settings.
