Michal and Takashi,

I've been researching your issue this morning. I just noticed that your
exchange had ensued.

I configured my AD1986-based system as closely as I could to match your
AD1985 mixer settings. In doing so, I experienced results similar to
what I'm assuming you described: Only front channel sound came out of
the surround and c/lfe jacks.

Here is what I had to change to get the appropriate multichannel sound:

1) The command "speaker-test -c6" does not work on my system. I have to
use "speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c6" (Perhaps this is related to running
an old version of speaker-test.)

2) I disabled "Spread Front to Surround and Center/LFE"

The explanation for 2) is this: There can be only one source for each
of the Surround and Center/LFE jacks active at one time. When "Spread
Front to Surround and Center/LFE" is disabled, the surround channels go
to the the jacks; when this control is enabled, ONLY the front channels
go to the surround and c/lfe jacks.

Considering the register values Michal provided and Takashi's patch:

The logic of the code is as follows: (Slightly simplifying,) functions
is_shared_linein() and is_shared_micin() return TRUE if the mixer is
configured for shared jacks AND NOT for 6 channel mode. In this case it
is appropriate to
set these bits (LODIS and CLDIS).

Please double-check your mixer settings. I added a byte to a structure,
so the mixer settings can get messed up switching between alsa-kernel
versions.

I don't understand why the other bit (OMS, 0x74 bit D9) is set. This
may have been an oversight on my part.

I am modifying alsa-kernel to run as an AD1985 on my system, to try to
check these bits.
