Hi,
I have recently installed Arch, which was only possible due to the great and up-to-date and correct and extensive wiki. Thank you for that. There's two audio issues I'm having currently:
I have installed kmix from the Arch repos, and I can adjust my volume settings, but I can't add or remove channels, preventing me from turning on my microphone.
Steps:
1. Open KMix
2. Settings-> set up channels
3. I get a list of available and visible channels, with no way to move the items from one list to another.
The second is that I don't know of a way to set the three stereo jacks to output 5.1 surround sound. In Windows, I could use the IDT Audio configuration screen to select the output channel for each jack, but in KDE, I haven't found a "replacement". Is this something app-specific (should I change settings in eg VLC) or is there some mixer magic needed?
Thanks!

This is still an issue for me. I do have updated info though.
The exact audio CODEC as reported by alsa-info.sh is IDT 92HD73C1X5.
The exact dumbed down problem is that the third stereo jack is not recognized as being able to also output, leaving me with two options: line in and mic in. Somehow the snd-hda-intel driver/module does not know about this feature.
I also tried every model listed in http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-ker … xt;hb=HEAD under 92HD73*, but the best of them only leave me with "4.0 analog output + stereo input" in the pulseaudio configuration, leaving me with 2 channels I can't access.
I posted a message on the alsa-users mailing list, and hope to get help soon. I need the 5.1 output!
Any help or deep alsa config tricks are very welcome. I'd really like this working.

I have found a stone-age bug report in the alsa bug tracker and added my relevant information.

Any pointers on getting this info to the right people and help them at fixing this would be much appreciated.
