This is a sort of problems that is difficult to help from the upstream
side.  The symptom indicates that the likely culprit is some missing
stuff for speaker amp behind the HD-audio codec, and those are usually
all vendor-specific; the wild west without laws, and only the vendor
knows how to drive.

User may try to apply the existing quirks one-by-one.  If nothing
helps, they can try tracing the HD-audio verbs on Windows over VM
(only if allowed).
