    }


external 5.1 (channel mode switch) seem can be enabled in hda-emu by ignoring extra out badness when there are three internal speakers

"Speaker Surround Playback Volume" and "Speaker CLFE" changed to "Surround Playback Volume", "Center Playback Volume" and "LFE Playack Volume"
"PCM playback Volume" and "PCM playback Switch" change to "Front Playback volume" and "Front Playback Switch"

what's missing is the external 7.1 ( using headphone jack)

Title:
  pulseaudio does not recognize internal speakers [P180HMx, Realtek
  ALC892, Speaker, Internal] volume slider problem

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  steps to reproduce:  
  1.  acquire a device with the problem, such as Clevo P180HM laptop motherboard 
  2.  install ubuntu 12.04  (now updated to 12.04.3 currently) 
  3.  systray > speaker-icon > sound-settings > output tab  
  4.  no entry for "speakers built-in audio" appears 

  workaround:  
  running the shell script mentioned in this comment helps -- 
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/946232/comments/158 

  however, the workaround is not completely satisfactory, because 
  adjusting the (singular) volume-slider provided by pulseaudio only 
  causes some of the (multiple) volume-sliders known to alsamixer to react. 
  Specifically, turning the pulseaudio volume upwards only changes the 
  'master' and belatedly the 'pcm' volumes inside alsamixer.  This ignores 
  'speaker clfe' + 'speaker front' + 'speaker surround playback volume' 
  plus maybe others.  Effectively, this means audio playback is weak:  instead 
  of spreading typical 2ch audiofiles across all internal speakers, only some 
  are used, and only at whatever volume alsamixer specifies.  (Turning the 
  ignored volumes up in alsamixer causes a different problem:  then it is no 
  longer possible to lower the sound to a relatively-quiet volume.)  

  Here is some information from one of the ubuntu pulseaudio/alsa devs:

  ...you have unusual hardware: in addition to normal
  headphones and stereo line out, you have 5.1 internal speakers. This
  leads to unusual alsamixer names (e g "Speaker Front") which we do not
  match for in PulseAudio. Fixing that means that we should add those
  names in PulseAudio - but let's discuss that in a new bug instead.

  Let me know if you would like more specifics.  I have run codecgraph,
  alsa-info, etc.
