Public bug reported: I cannot see the controls for the 7.1 channels supported by the laptop. I tried to compile a new alsa snapshot just in case it's fixed but I lost the audio device altogether after rebooting. I also tried https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ppa which should be the proper way to update alsa in ubuntu but again the audio device disappears altogether.
I tried to use options snd-hda-intel model=targa-8ch-dig and though I can see alsa controls now for the surround system but only 1 jack is working and the sound is coming from the wrong jack (rear instead of front/headphone) beside other problems. I tried to send the bug the proper way but I got a crash like below: $ ubuntu-bug audio Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
