Hi everyone, I have studied for a long time following the wise advice of SirDice and Tingo, and I have learned many things that I did not know (not needing them either with Windows or with Gentoo - with which latest OS the configuration is also perfect for the audio). However I can't get any sound out and before I quit, at least on laptops, FreeBSD (I would be sorry because it's a really interesting and trauma-resistant OS), I want to try asking the experts for further help.
My ASUS ZenBook 13 has:
--- Realtek ALC294 HDA CODEC at cad 0 on controller hdac0 (hdacc0) and Realtek ALC294 Audio Function Group at nid 1 on hdacc0:
--- Intel Kaby Lake HDA CODEC at cad 2 on controller hdac0 (hdacc1) and Intel Kaby Lake Audio Function Group at nid 1 on hdacc1.
hdacc0 manages the internal speaker (and microphone?) and the Headphones; hdacc1, the HDMI connection.
I attach below what I find in dmesg thanks to the verbose boot.

--- pcm0 (default) is Realtek ALC294 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0) at nid 23 and 18 on hdaa0;
--- pcm1 is Realtek ALC294 (Right Analog Headphones) at nid 33 on hdaa0.
--- pcm2: is Intel Kaby Lake (HDMI/DP 8ch) at nid 3 on hdaa1
Well, if I put ***dev.hdaa.0.init_clear="0"*** in device.hints, I expect the default configuration values set up by the BIOS to be accepted. By selecting pcm0 as the default, no sound is reproduced.
If, on the other hand, I put ***hint.hdaa.0.nid23.config="as=1 seq=0"*** and ***hint.hdaa.0.nid33.config="as=1 seq=15"***, I still don't get any sound.
I find NumGPIO=4, NumGPo=0, GPIWake=0, GPIUnsol=1. But, to tell the truth, this doesn't seem influential to me. And here I stop because I can't go further (but I think it is an initial good position for an 85 years old newbie).
Can any of the audio experts suggest to me what to do (if possible studying any more!) to config my sound output? Thanks a lot!
