Are you sure the output jack is in the right socket? These multi-input/
ouput audio cards are going to get us crazy :-)

I would start for the easiest thing, that is, edit "/etc/modprobe/alsa-
base.conf" and add to the bottom:

options snd-hda-intel model=asus

Then reload the alsa module to apply the changes.

(available "model=" values can be retrieved from "/usr/share/doc/alsa-
base/driver/HDA-Audio-Models.txt.gz" so you can test with many options, 
like "6stack-digout", "asus-dig2", etc...).
