I've been banging my head against this problem for some time now, and
I haven't been able to find a solution. I have a Mach Speed MSNV-939
motherboard with onboard 5.1 channel sound. lspci -vv reports:

Kernel driver in use: Intel ICH
Kernel modules: snd-intel8x0
There are three jacks: line-out (front), line-in/rear,
microphone/center+lfe. I have speakers plugged into all three jacks,
but "speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c 6" produces sound only in the
front channels (the line-out jack).
The relevant section from /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
alias char-major-116-* snd
alias char-major-14-* soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=alc_jack index=0
options cx88-alsa index=1,2
(The cx88-alsa line is for my pcHDTV cards)
The "ac97_quirk" text was something that I thought I try out after
seeing some documentation on snd-intel8x0, but it doesn't seem to have
made any difference.
Finally, the output of amixer:

I'm out of ideas. Does anyone have suggestions for me? Are there any
more configuration details that you would need to see?
Thanks a lot,
Brandon
