What I can do, is ask you to download and run http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh .
that's the one with model=toshiba (useless) http://pastebin.ca/831128
Also, rebuild the modules with "./configure --with-cards=snd-hda-intel --with-debug=detect" and load them with "model=auto". This will leave output in dmesg as to what the driver finds in bios. It's not always reliable, but it helps.
done.. i recompiled all the alsa-source with that option (--with-debug=detect)
you can see dmesg here: http://pastebin.ca/831221 and the result of the alsa-info.sh script with this modules/setting here: http://pastebin.ca/831224
i've added 2 note to the bug ( https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3659 )
still i don't know how to use the info from dmesg for fixing my card... can you help me understanding it?
As to 5.1 surround, the only way to get 6 channel output would be through the SPDIF port, as it acts as a digial passthrough. If your system has a subwoofer, it is very likely tied into the main speaker out, just like the 2.1 speakers you can get at most stores.
as you can read into the bug report i think it's NOT a 5+1 sound card there are 2 middle frequency speaker, 2 twitter and 1 subwoofer (a total of 5 speaker) but probably, as you said, it's a 2.1 or something like this...
anyway it doesn't work as it should
i can recompile the driver with -with-debug=full option if you need it
i didn't compiled only the hda-intel driver.. i recompiled all using debian way (module assistant + modification to the debian/rules script)
merry Christmas and thanks for your time
