While listening music through internal speakers I noticed that left speaker sounds differently from the right one. I would describe left speaker's sound as those from the headphones lying on the table: low volume level and mostly high frequences are heard. 1) Trying to check mixer levels in alsamixer, muting/unmuting, balance channels etc didnt help. 2) In alsamixer there is a mixer item called "Bass Speaker". If I mute it, other playback items (including Master) are muted too. If I make its level to 0, then sound from both speakers become identical: low volume and without bass frequences. Level of the Bass Speaker resets if I adjust volume level from Unity volume control tool. 3) Trying to set model parameter for intel_hda module to "mbp55" or "imac27" didnt help. 4) Sound from headphones is perfectly ok.
