How about adding these names to slaves of virtual master
volume/switch ?
hdajackretask won't help if the topology of the codecs are
different
Seem the badness still prevent the driver to support surround
5.1
with
three rear panel jacks, internal speaker and front panel
headphone
for
Thinkcenter A58 using alc662

Why 3stack desktops with 6 channels codecs not using
"Headphone+LO" or
"Speaker+LO" ?
The problem is just the lack of DACs, so it cannot cover all three outputs, no matter how the pins are chosen. That is, it's no 6 channels at all but 4 channels at most.

Raymond, there can certainly be cases which this patch does not cover
-
after all, it's mostly a band aid given the lack of topology
information -
but do you see cases where this patch actually causes a *regression*? If so, could you point me to alsa-info for the machine where this patch
causes
a regression?

I expect those desktop with 2+2 HD Audio codec support independent
headphone
This mean the driver should not create "Lineout+HP" Playback volume
Line out and headphone cannot share same DAC
Do you have a pincfg representing this? Then we can check it easily via hda-emu.

Refer to user manual
Multi-streaming can be enabled in the Realtek control panel to allow independent audio streams to be sent to/from the front and rear jacks
