Note that the port will display as "Headphones" despite using the speakers. When paired with pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa, be aware that the full volume range is addressed through levels 0-9 of the Master volume control. Levels 10-100 provide no additional gain.
If using pulseaudio, the following can be placed in your `~/.config/pulse/default.pa` file to create a loopback device that fixes the volume levels, so that 0-100% in a desktop environment's volume bar will correspond to the audio level heard in the spaker.
```
.include /etc/pulse/default.pa
