Easier said than done.  I have to build a custom kernel in order to get
custom alsa-drivers to build on this machine so at the moment I am stuck
with whatever I got in 3.14.1.  From the list above can you make a
recommendation for the best options to test?

According to hdajackretask the pins I can retask for output are the
following:

Pin 0x14 (Internal Speaker): present = No
Pin 0x15 (Black HP Out): present = No
Pin 0x16 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x18 (Black Mic): present = No
Pin 0x19 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x1a (Not connected): present = No


- The other pins present just a few options for input ex, mic, line in,
spdif.
