Default Association and Sequence are used together by software to group Pin Complexes (and therefore jacks) together into functional blocks to support multichannel operation. Software may assume that all jacks with the same association number are intended to be grouped together, for instance to provide six channel analog output. The Default Association can also be used by software to prioritize resource allocation in constrained situations. Lower Default Association values would be higher in priority for resources such as processing nodes or Input and Output Converters.

When I do so, the sound starts to play in stereo. I would love the sound output to be stereo by default and not be forced to plug anything to achieve that. Attached is the alsa-info.sh output for my machine.
