Vero 4k+ lost 7.1 analogue output after June update

I’m working on the assumption that something did change between March (Kodi 18.6) and June (18.7) that’s giving you this issue. I’m stuggling to find time to look at it, though. I can’t immediately think of anything you can do by way of conf files so unless you are handy with C++ coding and ALSA’s API can you bear with me for a bit? I need to see if there’s a solution to make both your card and @mbailen’s Asus card work (No 5.1 sound in Vero 4k with Xonar U5). My 7.1 USB soundcard works with all OSMC devices, all kernels and all Kodi versions, so it’s not easy and I will need you both to test solutions, probably.
