The other, the Realtek ALC1200 HDA CODEC. All four of them work. But I notice 1 notable difference; that yours reports 2 HDA interfaces: hdac0: <NVIDIA (0x0fbb) HDA Controller> and hdac1: <Intel Wellsburg HDA Controller> I see hdac0 is disregarded (unused) whereas hdac1 is enabled, and functioning. I think your problems quite possibly lies in your (sound) system attempting to use the first HDA device in the list, which is effectively disabled. If you can determine a way to tell KDE, and friends to use the 2nd HDA. Things may well go as intended. None of the 4 MSI boards I have display 2 HDA's, as yours does. If you have any additional questions, you may well find the FreeBSD forums already have answers to your issue. This is where I originally found answers to my issues, when I first started using these boards.
