Unfortunately, your problem is completely different (even though the
symptoms are the same).  You have a Realtek ALC268 audio codec, and
there is currently very limited support for it.

The good news is that I have a reference board and more detailed specs
coming soon.  I'll look into getting you a preliminary driver this
weekend, and better support after that.
