Hi David

It is now working! I couldn't find documentation on how to determine
the correct pin config values, but found in patch_realtek.c the values
for rear, clfe and front. So, I executed this:

echo 0x14 0x01014510 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/user_pin_configs
echo 0x19 0x01011012 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/user_pin_configs
echo 0x1b 0x01016011 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/user_pin_configs
echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/reconfig

And 6 channels is now working perfectly. I have also tried the early
patch method, and that works too!

Thanks again for all your help.

Regards
Keith
