Here's a link to an issue on alsa about an older version of the notebook with the same arrangement of speaker set
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210359

Comment 10 and 13 mentioned about speaker connection and routing. I am under impression that the same issue applies to the 2023 version of G14

I have exactly the same issue with only the tweeters outputting sound. I am also using the 2023 model of the G14 (the model with the RTX4090). In contrast, I use Kubuntu 23.04 as the OS and also installed pipewire (not pulse audio) in the hopes it does solve my problem.

The command given in comment 10 of the link above did, however, not solve my problem. Did it help in your case?

They did not. To my understanding, one that case, the sound are coming off both the tweeter and bass speakers, but the master volume control does not lower the bass speaker volume, so it's a different problem than what we are facing

can confirm the issues here.

Seems to be related to _DSD in the BIOS firmware and some more stuff which needs to be fixed..

Sadly i did not get this tutorial running on mine, due to the fact im not able to ressamble the dsdt.dsl file with "iasl -sa dsdt.dsl". (even without modification i get a lot of error im not able to solve :D).

If someone knows how to fix that, please help me out.. running on latest firmware (313)
