Title:
  [ASRock A75M-ITX, Realtek ALC892, Grey SPDIF Out, Rear] Surround
  output not working

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This sound card (Realtek ALC892) is 7.1 channel capable via the digital out 
(SPDIF).
  However, Ubuntu is not recognizing it as such and on the sound configuration 
we can only see the stereo parameters (right and left).
  As you can see in the attached picture, the rear and subwoofer parameters are 
grayed out, as if the card didn't support it.

  I have connected it to a 5.1 amplifier and played a DTS suround file.
  Unfortunately the sound coming out is simply stereo. No 5.1 surround.
