I guess that the "hda_generic: no proper output"  is caused during
detect another codec.

It's strange that there is no messages like
"hda_codec_setup_stream:NID=" when you run speaker-test.

Side.Please unmute them.

Did you just run the "speaker-test -Dplug:surround71 -c8 -sX" with the
X=0 and X=1? 
If it is true, you should change the X from 0 to 8.
