Hi,
I am unable to get 7.1 surround sound option on my system.
Alsamixer is not giving me any option to choose 8 channels.
Surround 5.1 is working correctly.
I am not sure how to configure the system to get the 8 channel setup
working.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04
Codename: raring
Attaching all the sound-card information I could gather from the system.
Please let me know in case any additional information is needed to debug
the issue.
