as the driver use pin fixup, you have to contact the author who added the pin fixup

assuninh the pin complex 0x0d is really the internal speaker,

the driver need to create speaker playback volume and switch at 0x02 since 0x0d can only connect to 0x02
this mean that headphone at 0x0a should use audio output 0x03 and create headphone playback volume and switch at 0x03

to support 5.1 by retasking mic jack as output and use audio output 0x04
