HDMI video output works using the proprietary video driver. HDMI audio output works using pulseaudio.

All USB ports work fine with no configuration required.

Can read from and write to CD/DVD media with no configuration required. BD-ROM reading has not yet been tested.

The integrated stero microphones work out-of-the-box with PulseAudio. The headphone and microphone ports also behave as expected. To get the bass speaker working, it is necessary to enable 2.1 sound in PulseAudio:

/etc/pulse/daemon.conf

        default-sample-channels = 3
        enable-lfe-remixing = yes

alsamixer from alsa-utils maps the bass speaker to the "Speaker" channel, and maps the left and right speakers to the "Headphone" channel. PulseAudio jack detection can interfere with this configuration; to disable it, comment out this line:

/etc/pulse/default.pa

        # load-module module-switch-on-port-available

By comment out this module in some cases can make pulse audio to choose HDMI output as the default every time you plug or unplug your headphones. Leaving you with no sound until you manually choose speakers in the sound options.

Works fine with no configuration required. The webcam records at a higher framerate than the sensor on the G73 and is actually usable, but it is not anything special.

Works fine with no configuration required. Note that the G750 is unable to boot from the card reader, even in legacy mode.
