I mentioned that I'm not using jack sharing right now, although my motherboard supports it. With the use of a jumper, I set the center/sub and rear outputs to be on a seperate bracket, which i installed where a PCI card would go and plugged into a spot on the motherboard. This works in windows no problems. Is it possible that ALSA can't recognize this? Is it worth changing the jumper back and using the jack sharing on the back of the motherboard?
