This is an ALSA bug. The NVIDIA MCP79/7A HDMI hardware has incorrect
channel mapping.
The Center channel and LFE was swapped with the Rear Left and Rear Right.
The workaround is to add the following to the asound.conf
pcm.!hdmi {
type route
slave.pcm
"cards.HDA-Intel.pcm.hdmi.0:CARD=NVidia,AES0=0x4,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2"
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.2.4 1
ttable.3.5 1
ttable.4.2 1
ttable.5.3 1
ttable.6.6 1
ttable.7.7 1
}
