Solved Internal speakers work, Headphones don't!

Hi I installed FreeBSD 12.1 on HP 800 G2 Desktop everything works fine but the audio jack input/output. The box has 4 and none is working. The internal speaker works fine but headphones don't. Any help would be appreciated

dmesg sound:

I think the /boot/device.hints has to do with it, I tried adding those hints (which I'm sure are wrong) and of course didn't help
Code: 
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid20.config="as=1"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid33.config="as=1 seq=15"

Thanks so much

Yes, the trouble with snd_hda(4) is that it's a really generic driver. The chipset itself allows for a lot of customization by OEMs and pins can be configured and re-assigned completely differently. So it's going to take quite a bit of fiddling to make it work correctly for your system.

SirDice, what I can do? any hints
 
I don't have equipment with the same snd_hda(4) driver so I have to do things from memory and reading the man pages.

If I recall correctly you need to do a "verbose" boot first, that will provide a lot of information when the driver is loaded. Add to /boot/loader.conf:
Code: 
verbose_loading="YES"
Then reboot and check dmesg(8) afterwards. The verbose boot should provide some additional information like this:
Code: 
     hdaa0: nid   0x    as seq device       conn  jack    loc        color   misc

Post that info here so we can have a look at it too.
 
You have 3 chips with Audio capability:

0. NVIDIA (0x0080) HDMI/DP 8ch
1. Realtek ALC221 HDA CODEC
2. Intel Skylake HDMI/DP 8ch - this is System on Chip (SoC).

These are subdivided to a total of 7 devices

By default, FreeBSD just utilizes one device: pcm0. The OP stated "speakers work" but speakers could be on the Monitor via an HDMI feed or separate speakers from the back panel jack. Can you pin this down?

Overall, you need to determine which device is wired to the internal speakers and which is wired to the HP jack. Additional info can be gleaned by changing the default device. Section 7.2 in the handbook will walk you through it.
# sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=n

Thanks I will go through section 7.2 and see if I can get it working.

I managed to get the front one working by adding the below hints going through snd_hda(4)
hint.hdac.1.cad0.nid30.config="as=0" hint.hdac.1.cad0.nid33.config="as=1 seq=15 device=Headphones"


Sirdice, I added the verbose_loading="YES" but not getting the info you showed up in dmesg? any help regarding that.

If you are using the rear 1/8 jack (nwid 30) for your speakers, put them in same group as the headphones. Keep the front headphones (nwid 33) seq=15. Your default audio will be through the speakers and will automatically mute when you plug in the headphones. You could do this by changing the nwid30 as=0 -> as=1.

Code: 
hint.hdac.1.cad0.nid30.config="as=1"

In your original post pcm4 was the default and pcm1 was "auto" so this should work. If not try pcm1 as the default.
hw.snd.default_unit: 4
hw.snd.version: 2009061500/amd64
hw.snd.default_auto: 1

If you are using the rear 1/8 jack (nwid 30) for your speakers, put them in same group as the headphones. Keep the front headphones (nwid 33) seq=15. Your default audio will be through the speakers and will automatically mute when you plug in the headphones. You could do this by changing the nwid30 as=0 -> as=1.

I tried the above and add the extra configuration, still one front jack is working. It mutes the speakers. Ideally I love to have the
Rear ones to work, but I'm not sure I have yet the full understanding of the sound configuration. I need to try more.
 
You have to group the headphone and speakers into the same association for seq=15 to work. I think it was overlooked, but it was not clear to me where your speakers are plugged in and this matters. You could be using an HDMI monitor with speakers plugged into the nVidia card or the onboard Intel video. If you are using the rear 1/8 jack, then your are most likely using the Realtek chip. Each one of these has a different as= *. Your headphones are using the Realtek chip. You need to assign the headphones the same as= as the speakers your are using and make this association the default.
 
I did little research on this topic. Here is my device.hints
Code: 
#Front
hint.hdaa.1.nid20.config="as=1 seq=0"
#Center
hint.hdaa.1.nid22.config="as=1 seq=1"
#Back/rear
hint.hdaa.1.nid21.config="as=1 seq=2"
#Side
hint.hdaa.1.nid23.config="as=1 seq=4"
#Headphones
hint.hdaa.1.nid27.config="as=1 seq=15"

I have 7.1 speakers connected to my soundcard, with headphones on front connector.
Easy to modify this to your needs, u just need to find which nid is what in your setup.
Seq numbers were took from snd_hda manual. Number 15 is special case, as when u connect headphones it mutes other outputs and play on this connector.
