Post output of alsa-info.sh after a cold boot to allow BIOS setup the pins

ALC888 has 5 DAC and 2 ADC , if you want to implement a new model which
allow internal mic and  internal  speaker , mic jack and headphone jack to
be used independently by two applications  , you will need to disable the
automute function
