cannot find driver for GA-AX370-Gaming 5 on board HD realtek audio

Hello, I am trying to find some realtek HD audio driver for my system. I really need some kind of driver because I got a logitech 5.1 surround sound that required to be plugged to 3 audio jack (subwoofer, rear left/right, front stereo).
For now none of the motherboard audio output works

So the realtek audio device is from in my motherboard.
specs :
aorus gigabyte ga-ax370-Gaming 5
ryzen 1800x
gtx 950
16 gb ram
im on a fresh arch install from today

here the lspci output :

I'm pretty experienced with arch (tho my experience might be old) and I looked just about everywhere I could today without any answer, posting here hoping someone knows something I don't.

Re: cannot find driver for GA-AX370-Gaming 5 on board HD realtek audio

All drivers of relevance in this space are usually in the kernel and already installed (... potentially lacking linux-firmware or sof-firmware or so). What did you check or are using to test on whether all channels are supported or not?

What are your outputs of

aplay -l
amixer -c0
sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'

post these

[code]code tags[/code]

and edit your existing post to wrap the already posted outputs relevantly. Also adjust the title to something that more accurately reflects the question you are asking.

For now I've been able to get no sound output at all from that audio card, I know that it does support 5.1 cause I made it work on windows in the past

Okay So I ran those and here is the result :

Re: cannot find driver for GA-AX370-Gaming 5 on board HD realtek audio

Well the question is what you used to try and check this as I see 3 potential detected cards/devices here, none of which are on index 0 so wouldn't be the default.

#Some more information
aplay -L
amixer -c2
#If any one of the following is working, try passing -c6 instead to simulate the 5.1 setup
speaker-test -c2 -Dhw:2
speaker-test -c2 -Dhw:2,4
speaker-test -c2 -Dhw:2,1

Re: cannot find driver for GA-AX370-Gaming 5 on board HD realtek audio

I used gnome settingsfor my testing, two output appears there, Line out and speaker but I did not manage to make it work yesterday. After more fiddling around, I found today that if I set myself on "Line out - Family 17h HD Audio controller" I can get stereo working on the front speaker, but Im still not at a 5.1 as it using only one out of the three audio output. also the left and right are inversed.
