Comment 7 for bug 440253

Again, *if* the low-level ALSA reporting is correct, then usable HW profiles should've been generated. These should include multi-channel output profiles, although I'm not sure if 6.1 and 7.1 are supported. If the correct ALSA controls are not exposed for a particular OEM's machine, then depending upon their level of support, they can work with OEM and/or the HWE teams to fix the problem.
