I've had limited success with an HP 2133 (netbook) that came with
Linux. If its any consolation to us FreeBSDers, some of the hardware
didn't work with Linux either as shipped by HP and it was running
X11R6.9 with the old VIA driver.
There was a conversation about the HP 2133 built in speakers in April
2009.

There were some posts earlier and two brief later posts essentially
saying "use snd_hda". Nothing after that.
To be brief, this is mostly informational except maybe a suggestion to
put more detail in /dev/sndstat and better yet a way to unmute more
directly.
I've tried both OSS and snd_hda and have had slightly better luck with
OSS. The internal mic works with OSS but I haven't got it to work
with snd_hda.
The above email references an earlier post from December 2008.

The pindumps show the internal speakers at nid 22. Excerpt below has
white space change for email readability.
hdac0: nid 22 0x92174110 as 1 seq 0
Speaker Fixed jack 7 loc 18 color Green misc 1
hdac0: Caps: IN OUT EAPD Sense: 0x0000e300 delay 60us
I'm not sure how to interpret the second line.
Searching for "nid: 22" and "nid=22" reveals the audio plumbing.
hdac0 has "nid: 22" taking input from "nid=11 [audio mixer]". This
matches the pcm0 plumbing, but indicated "mute=1".

Since I also have an HP 2133 (among other laptops) but I'm running
OSS, I tried to correlate this information with what "ossmix -D" gives
me. Other than the jack colors there is very little to go by. I'm
unable to get any sound on the internal speakers. The OSS plumbing is
definitely less obvious (to me at least).
With OSS I am also unable to eliminate a high level of static on the
internal mic, but that is a separate problem. With snd_hda I get
nothing on the internal mic.
With snd_hda there doesn't seem to be anything I can do with the mixer
to enable the internal speaker. It looks to be wired to pcm0 but no
apparent way to unmute it.
Note that mixer doesn't report mute status and xmixer doesn't report
it in ascii output, only graphically and its not immediately obvious
which button state is "mute on" (apparently the "in" postion).
BTW- It would be nice if the same level of detail provided when
kldload snd_hda.ko is run would be provided through /dev/sndstat with
the verbosity turned up a bit higher so that the mute state could be
seen after a mixer app has made changes.
Both OSS and snd_hda work with an external mic. Both have a bit of
problem with noise that can be improved to the point of tolerable with
adjustments to the volume levels.

ps - This HP 2133 is bordering on a useful FreeBSD netbook used with a
headset (to the extent any netbook is useful). Off topic, there have
been many improvements very recently (FreeBSD 8.0 and ports):
openchrome now works - no need for vesa driver and can hook up to a
monitor, but still forced to same resolution as LCD. Have to look
into that. Thank you Roland for the work on X11.
Nits to look at is unplug USB keyb disables both keyboards and plug
in external mouse shuts off Emulate3Button, needed for internal pad.
These seem to be related to X11 use of hal.
With webcamd the built in camera works for some applications. An
external camera with PWC no longer works unless plugged directly
into the one USB port. Webcamd supports both cameras simultaneously
which is impressive, though it may not be useful.
The bwi driver didn't work for this (pciconf reports chip=0x431214e4
rev=0x02, which uses a 4312 rev 2, requiring newer firmware rev).
The bwn driver hold promise and that will be next to be tested.
Sound sort of works as described above. External speaker and mic
only.
Ekiga3 seems to be a step backward in my limited playing with it.
pps - best audio results were acheived with:
