5.1 is only available after you change the channel mode from 2ch to 6ch
which retask blue line in and pink mic Jack as output, before pulseaudio
probe the sound card during startup


Simple mixer control 'Channel Mode',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: '2ch' '4ch' '6ch'
  Item0: '2ch'


this mean you have to change the channel mode and restart pulseaudio
