Digging a little further, it sure looks like somehow ALSA is not picking up
the HDMI nature of my sound card. The only option I have for sound in pulse
audio volume control is Play HiFi quality Music and this has to come from
ALSA. There are several files in /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/Intel/sof-hda-dsp/ that
appear relevant but I don't know how to interpret or debug them.
Is there documentation on how to debug ALSA ucm2 problems?

Dear Peter,

I have an Ice Lake laptop with 3 8-channel HDMI outputs. My kernel
appears to have the appropriate modules loaded for the card,
including
snd_hda_codec_hdmi. Here is the information for one of the
channels
from /proc/asound/card0/codec#2.
[…]
But as far as I can tell ALSA is turning them into 2-channel
outputs.
At least I can not see any surround channels in alsamixer and I can
only play 2-channel sound to them using speaker-test.
How can I find out where the change from 8 channels to 2 channels
is
happening? And how can I get 7.1-channel (or 5.1-channel) sound to
these outputs?
Please use `alsa_info.sh` [1] to upload more information.
Kind regards,
Paul
