I had it in place because at one point it seemed to allow PA to have
addition profiles other than stereo. However the line below seems to be a
better combination.

That nugget of information seems to have enabled the bass speaker in alsa
after the last reboot.

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=auto patch=,hda-jack-retask.fw

For the info file above I have the following retask assignments:

0x14 Line out (front)
0x15 Line out (center/LFE)
0x16 Line Out (Back)
0x18 Internal Speaker
0x19 Internal Speaker(Back)
0x1a Internal mic

- With the following command I can hear "rear center" through the sonic
master speaker when channel 5 is testing.

speaker-test -D hw:1 -c 6 -t wav

- I do not hear any sound when rear left/right is testing.

- I do not hear any audio through the LFE with PA test on any of the audio
profiles.

- I will play around with the retask assignments now that something seems
to be working. Looks like I'm on the right track now.

Thanks for all your help so far.
