I have a 960 (thanks to the generosity of a user) and was recently given 
the hint to add hw.snd.default_unit=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf so that the 
front jacks are operational instead of the back. For your situation I'm 
guessing that instead of 1 you would use (number-of-working-rear-jack + 
1). You can change it with sysctl on the command line, and when you get 
a working setup add it to /etc/sysctl.conf.


hth,
