To force pulseaudio to get the correct subdevice for via codec, you may need
to add "subdevice 0" to HDA-intel.conf

since subdevice 0 support multichannel but subdevice 1 only support stereo


    playback.pcm {
        type softvol
        slave.pcm {
            type hw
            card $CARD
+          subdevice 0
        }
        control {
            name "PCM Playback Volume"
            card $CARD
        }
    }
