It might be. It is important not to mix VT1708 and VT1708S. For VT1708S, the following DACs are used in code:

/* config dac list */ switch (i) { case AUTO_SEQ_FRONT: spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x10; break; case AUTO_SEQ_CENLFE: spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x24; break; case AUTO_SEQ_SURROUND: spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x11; break; case AUTO_SEQ_SIDE: spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x25; break; }

So 0x12 is not used for any of the surround outputs.

Hello, for quite some time the "Smart 5.1" function in alsa is not

working

properly when motherboard has only 3 audio jacks.

speaker-test -c 4 -t wav -Dsurround40

Channels count (4) not available for playbacks: Invalid argument

Please try the patch below.

(This function uses 0x12 and 0x13 as the NIDs for the center/LFE and side DACs. Shouldn't these be 0x24 and 0x25, as per the datasheet?)

Node 0x12 seem to be for digital out since it connected to node 0x20

I guess we still lack the info about the retasking of pink and blue jack to the surround output
