No surround on HDMI and AMD Kabini

[petri0]

I can't get 5.1 sound working in Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit with the drivers in Driver Manager. Only right and left speakers are visible in Test Sound in Sound Settings and HDMI is only on stereo. In analogue 5.1 can be chosen.

Maybe this is useful too. I don't know but it seems like weird when audio card is AMD and driver is Intel ...
