Which specific CPUs are producing sound on hdmi port? Are you running
an external monitor on the dell laptop?
My systems contain; i3-7100 (Kaby Lake), i7-8700 (Coffee Lake), i7-10700
(Comet Lake).
I suspect that with each CPU variation, Intel moved control
registers/bits around.
I'm using i915kms.ko and hdasnd.ko (I believe). I can spin up a machine
and do kldstat...

Linux routes sound from the audio driver to the video driver causing
sound to come out of the HDMI cable. FreeBSD can't. This affects ALL i3,
i5, i7, i9 systems.
FreeBSD can't even support x11 on my GMKtec K8 with Radeon 780M
graphics. Linux Mint does.
Hi Steven
Perhaps you can be more specific here about what's not working.
Here I've got:
- dell xps13 i7 [1] & intel nuc i5
- in 14.1-RELEASE and CURRENT
- capable of playing audio & video via HDMI
- I use the drm-kmod drivers & X11 not wayland
Can you link:
- what freebsd version this is for
- relevant parts of your dmesg for just 1 system
- if X doesn't start at all, whats in xorg logs?
- what kmods / video drivers you have set up on it
- set `sysctl hw.snd.verbose=2` and then attach `/dev/sndstat` info
More info is in https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/
I use mpg123 or mpv for quick tests, for audio & video respectively.
