Stereo only, no surround sound. Sorry if it was a bit dis-jointed. I was getting frustrated at that point so I switched off and walked away.
I have tried most things, run a few things including alsamixer, pavucontrol, yast, system settings/multimedia, installed various libs and software via yast, editied various file too many to list, used google a lot, I was even swearing at the thing, nothing still syereo no surround sound when using the built in test sounds. I would get the person say left and right front, nothing else not a peep out of her.
