Bug Description

I have the sound connected through digital S / PDIF
Sound works properly selecting stereo, but can not get it to work using 5.1
When I select stereo sound, appears on the tab below to phonon spdif output option.
When I select Output 5.1, that option does not appear.

I imagine the error will also occur selecting 7.1

Deputy screenshots.

Hello again. The problem remains unsolved several years later. I am with Ubuntu Eoan (19.10).
The solution I used before to get the SPDIF digital optical output to work no longer works. Can someone please try to fix this problem?
