From what I was able to decipher, 0x1e is a jack, external rear, with spdif out default output and optical connection. It is black. The same physical socket is used for the last 2 surround channels. Could you please clarify? Thanks in advance.
Take a look at Block Diagram of alc892 datasheet
http://www.realtek.com/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&P...
if you can confirmed the internal mic, mic jack ,line in , line out and internal speaker work as expected
the only pin complex which can be connected to rear [Audio Output] 0x0d is 0x15
seem that the pin complex for 4 jack 8-ch notebook are different from desktop with 6 jacks at rear panel
a 10 channel codec is able to provide volume control for internal speaker and 4 jacks
