I have two HP's, a Slimline with an i7, and an Envy with an i7. Both are 
small towers (desktops).

I use drm-kmod, snd_hda.

dmesg:

hdacc0: <Realtek ALC671 HDA CODEC> at cad 0 on hdac0
hdaa0: <Realtek ALC671 Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc0
pcm0: <Realtek ALC671 (Rear Analog)> at nid 20 and 27 on hdaa0
pcm1: <Realtek ALC671 (Analog)> at nid 33 and 24 on hdaa0
hdacc1: <Intel Kaby Lake HDA CODEC> at cad 2 on hdac0
hdaa1: <Intel Kaby Lake Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc1
pcm2: <Intel Kaby Lake (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 3 on hdaa1

  From the command line, I can output to the front or rear realtek 
outputs, but not hdmi.

cat /dev/sndstat

    BTW, I've been using FreeBSD since 1.x days.

These same systems give me sound on every output on linux mint, kde 
neon, debian12.

I'm running 14stable, but I've had this issue since 2017 (Dell Inspiron 
3668 (i3).
