@Raymond, interesting that you brought up Bug 55541. I had been reading
through that and comparing outputs. It seems to me that most of the
issues involved was that the DSP was not running or that output was
being directed to a non-existent S/PDIF jack.

My issue is similar, in that output ONLY goes to a S/PDIF jack - and I
have 2 of those. There is only 1 HP jack located in the front on this
system. I don't have speakers that will accept S/PDIF input in order to
see if sound data actually goes there. When selecting the HP, even
though it looks as though sound is being routed to that jack, there is
also nothing coming out.

keith@keith-linux:~$ lsmod | grep ca0132
snd_hda_codec_ca0132    57344  1 
snd_hda_codec         143360  4 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller,snd_hda_codec_ca0132
snd                    90112  20 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_codec_ca0132

So it looks like the codec is properly selected.

keith@keith-linux:~$ dmesg | grep ca0132
[    8.692299] ca0132 DOWNLOAD OK :-) DSP IS RUNNING.

DSP looks good.

keith@keith-linux:~$ dmesg | grep hda

[    8.040891] sound hdaudioC0D0:      Line=0x11

And here's where things start getting confused. My system gives me 2
jacks on the front - Mic and headphones, and 5 jacks in the rear for
Front/Center/Rear speakers as well as optical and analog S/PDIF . This
doesn't seem to correspond with the hdaudioC0D0 data. Shouldn't
speaker_outs be > 0, hp_outs < 2, line_outs == 0, and no entry at all
for Line? From looking at the diff for patch_ca0132.c, it doesn't look
like that fix matches these symptoms.

Title:
  [Alienware Area-51 R2, Creative CA0132, Green Line Out, Rear] No sound
  at all

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
  Release:	15.04

  
  This is a 5.1 surround sound set up. No output from any speaker. Sound settings configuration doesn't show proper options for this card - no channel info except for analog stereo and S/PDIF outputs where I would expect to see information on Front/Rear/Center speaker outputs.

  Output from aplay -l:
