Hi...  not tested, but IMHO your patch won't  be enough; you're not updating the spec->multiout.num_dacs inside the loop,
which means that is_empty_dac(codec, conn[i]) inside __parse_output_path() will not detect used DACs as used :

static bool is_empty_dac(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t dac)
{
     struct via_spec *spec = codec->spec;
     int i;

     for (i = 0; i < spec->multiout.num_dacs; i++) { <---- HERE, using spec->multiout.num_dacs as loop end
         if (spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] == dac)
             return false;
     }
     if (spec->hp_dac_nid == dac)
         return false;
     return true;
}

You need to update spec->multiout.num_dacs INSIDE scan loop, NOT at end.

Ciao
