If you plugged the speaker into the black jack, Seem you are using stereo profile since surround dac still using channel=0 Auto mute was disabled when you select ac97 front audio panel Do you expect pulseaudio just mute the surround playback switch but keep the surround playack volume remain unchanged when you select stereo profile ?
