Comment 115 for bug 946232

@Raymond

My laptop does indeed support 5.1, and that is an option in the "Configuration" menu in pauvconfig (although I currently have it set for "Analog Stereo Duplex") - that option changed from "Surround 5.1" to "Surround 4.0" when I put "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in my alsa-base.conf file and rebooted.

Currently, the mixer is showing "line in" as my only mic option (the internal mics aren't showing at all). Using alsamixer, they show up as "Capture 1", "Capture 2", etc., and enabling them has no effect. If this line is not in alsa-base.conf, the internal mics show up in the mixer, but they don't seem to capture anything.
