I'm going out on a limb here, not sure if this will work:
It looks like your pulseaudio is configured as stereo instead of
surround, which may be disabling the surround jack. Please try opening
pavucontrol and on the Configuration tab change the profile of the
built in card (should be the second one as the first is the hdmi
port).
