This device reports that it supports two channels. What makes you think that you can play eight channels?
amixer: Control hw:2 element read error: Invalid argument usb 1-1.3: 10:0: cannot get min/max values for control 3 (id 10) usb 1-1.3: 2:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x1
These are bugs in the device firmware. However, the driver could handle them better.
Forgive my ignorance if I'm totally wrong, what made me think that is 7.1 capable is:
The headset is made to emulate 7.1 sound in headphones, that it does through the sound card it provides.
Also the aplay output...
aplay --dump-hw-params returns CHANNELS: [2 8]
and "aplay -L" output also reports: surround71:CARD=Elite,DEV=0 SteelSeries Siberia Elite, USB Audio 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers
With the manufacturer driver under other OS's you do select 7.1 setup and then you plug the specific headphones to the soundcard and can hear the surround sound, but I don't mean to compare though, just that it also
made
me believe this hardware supports 7.1

You need workaround since pulseaudio don't like volume control with more than two channels

Can you post output of your usb audio device ?

Certainly!
