It's first time I see it, but it is usually not a problem.

There is codec misconfiguration in BIOS for association 1 (2). Pin with
nid 14 can't be routed to the same ADC as 13 and 20. This codec just
can't manage it. That pin should always to be configured separately or
disabled. If you fix this, record should probably be traced fine.

What other problems? What do you mean by quiet? How exactly?
