ooh, I know what this is. You need to tell the soundcard a bit more
about your speaker configuration by adding something in /etc/modprobe.d,

your option won't be the same as mine but the full list of available
options is in the file you can read with this command:
zcat /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz |less
