Yes, I see;

I tried the above already (following a hint) and as well

hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid18.config="as=2 seq=0"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid24.config="as=2 seq=1"

in device.hints(4); the result is, that /dev/dsp1 disappears, as well
/dev/mixer1; and in /dev/mixer0 there is another recording source
'monitor':

# mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to  93:93
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  88:88
Mixer mic      is currently set to  70:70
Mixer mix      is currently set to  81:81
Mixer rec      is currently set to  70:70
Mixer igain    is currently set to  78:78
Mixer ogain    is currently set to  65:65
Mixer monitor  is currently set to  74:74
Recording source: mix, monitor

but the internal mic does not record (even if jack is unpluged), only
jack records (if pluged, of course);

if I set

# mixer =rec monitor
Recording source: monitor

the jack as well stops recording;

will try now sequence number "15"...

Thanks for your help
