You can add the following code to assign dac and pin in alc_auto_fill_dac_nids()
However this cannot create "Headphone Playback Volume" and "Speaker

spec->multiout.dac_nids = spec->private_dac_nids;
+/*

a laptop with 4 jacks

+ num_pins++;
+ defcfg = snd_hda_codec_get_pincfg(codec, cfg->hp_pins[0]);
+ location = get_defcfg_location(defcfg);
+ spec->multiout.num_dacs = 1;
+ num_pins = alc_auto_fill_multi_ios(codec, location, 0);
+ if (num_pins > 0) {
+ spec->multi_ios = num_pins;
+ spec->ext_channel_count = 2;
+ }

cfg->line_out_pins[0]);

+ spec->multiout.num_dacs = 1;
+/*
