It might be. It is important not to mix VT1708 and VT1708S. For VT1708S, the following DACs are used in code: /* config dac list */ switch (i) { case AUTO_SEQ_FRONT: spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x10; break; case AUTO_SEQ_CENLFE: spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x24; break; case AUTO_SEQ_SURROUND: spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x11; break; case AUTO_SEQ_SIDE: spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x25; break; } So 0x12 is not used for any of the surround outputs.
