> So, similar to what happens when I test 9ch, but with the numbering a bit odd. Is it supposed to be out-of-order like that? I think this is by design, it's meant to "walk around the room in a circle" or something. Anyway, I've made a patch for PulseAudio that I'd like you to test. In short, edi

since your internal speaker can only connected to single DAC the driver need to assign DAC to 5.1/7.1 output before assign DAC to the headphone -static const struct snd_kcontrol_new alc883_targa_mixer[] = { - HDA_CODEC_VOLUME("Front Playback Volume", 0x0c, 0x0, HDA_OUTPUT), - HDA_CODEC_VOLUME(
