Well, I'm only able to share my own experiences. The 3 with Realtek chips, all make a light pop sound during boot. The one I happen to be writing this from emits the following in dmesg(8) hdacc0: <Realtek ALC1200 HDA CODEC> at cad 0 on hdac0 hdaa0: <Realtek ALC1200 Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc0 hdaa0: Subsystem ID: 0x103c2a72 pcm0: <Realtek ALC1200 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> at nid 20,27 and 24,25,22 on hdaa0 pcm0: Playback: pcm0: Stream cap: 0x00000001 PCM pcm0: PCM cap: 0x000e0560 16 20 24 bits, 44 48 96 192 KHz pcm0: DAC: 2 pcm0: Soft PCM mixer ENABLED pcm0: Playback channel set is: Front Left, Front Right, pcm0: Playback channel matrix is: 2.0 (disconnected) pcm0: Recording channel set is: Front Left, Front Right, pcm0: Recording channel matrix is: 2.0 (disconnected) pcm0: Mixer "vol": pcm0: Mixer "pcm": pcm0: Mixer "speaker": pcm0: Mixer "line": pcm0: Mixer "mic": pcm0: Mixer "mix": pcm0: Mixer "rec": pcm0: Mixer "igain": pcm0: Mixer "monitor": pcm0: Soft PCM mixer ENABLED pcm0: Playback channel set is: Front Left, Front Right, pcm0: Playback channel matrix is: 2.0 pcm1: <Realtek ALC1200 (Onboard Analog Speaker)> at nid 21 on hdaa0 pcm1: Playback: pcm1: Stream cap: 0x00000001 PCM pcm1: PCM cap: 0x000e0560 16 20 24 bits, 44 48 96 192 KHz pcm1: DAC: 3 pcm1: Mixer "vol": pcm1: Mixer "pcm": pcm1: Mixer "igain": pcm1: Soft PCM mixer ENABLED pcm1: Playback channel set is: Front Left, Front Right, pcm1: Playback channel matrix is: 2.0 sysctl(8) reports: hw.snd.default_unit: 0 I have sound. That's as much as I can offer. All the best. --Chris --
