Hello, seems that I was wrong. The issue still exists. The channel mapping is still wrong (all these left-of and right-of entries.) Now I have 5.1 but the voice is more to the left and, generally, the sound is weak and the right is even more weak. Also, please excuse, I first took wrong chip info from the wrong manual. output of pactl stat: Currently in use: 20 blocks containing 228,2 KiB bytes total.
