[ION2] Audio Problems on AC3

[kruemelro]

Hi,

I've got a Asus AT5Iont-Deluxe Board which got a ION2. The Audio on Ac3 streams is messed up. It seems i got the Output of the Rear Speakers on the Front. The Center and the Rear Speaker didn't Play anything. The Voices are really silent.
Here is a output of aplay -L:

On 3.2.4 Audio runs perfect. Only the Gotham nightlys got that.

Any Idea?
Thx, Greets Phil
