Ok, the P4PE manual says that Line Out should be front, Microphone
should be rear, and Line In should be center/LFE when the codec is in
6-channel mode. The question now is how to get it into 6-channel mode
i guess. What program are you using to output 6-channel media to it?
(xine, mplayer, etc) and what settings do you use with it?
Try disabling the headphone mode as well as external amplifier
powerdown. Also make sure that the mic/line-in are not selected as
recording sources and/or are muted.
If you compiled alsa from source, there is a constant in the
ad1980_patch function in alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_patch.c that is
currently 0x0420. can you change this to 0x04a0 and recompile? it
should play the sound on all of the outputs. If not, maybe there is
some other issue going on.
it doesn't look like alsa does any jack sensing to see if you have
things connected to those jacks, so that shouldn't be a problem.
