Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, which has two headphone output and
one mic input, see picture:

On my winxp, I can do, that the left jack goes to the front speakers,
the center jack goes to the center speaker, and the right jack goes to
the rear speakers and everything works great.
But on Linux I can't even make work the second headphone jack. :(
What should I do to enable 5.1 surround?

I'm using pulseaudio 0.9.21 with
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 02)

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Peter Major
