Yea, I did try adjusting default_unit.  After more experimenting I 
noticed that I could get sound from the headphone jack, just not the 
built-in speakers.  I spent some time tonight experimenting with snd_hda 
and I've got it working.  The fix was:

hint.hdac.0.config="gpio2"

in loader.conf

This is on a Dell XPS M1330 in case anyone else bumps into this. :)


Thanks,
