There was a patch which add "Independent hp" swtich and create device
2 for alc892 desktop with 6 jacks at rear panel

Take a look at the removed model="targa_8ch_dig" which touch those gpio

Have you ask the notebook vendor clevo support/engineer the subwoofer
is connected to which pin of alc892 ?
