Realtek HDAudio almost always needs custom patches:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/sound/hda/codecs/realtek?h=v6.19.6

Can you show

1. the full dmesg output after you `boot -vx'?

2. the output of these hdaudioctl commands:

```
root# hdaudioctl list				# get list of codec/nid pairs
root# hdaudioctl show <codec> <nid>		# for each codec/nid
root# hdaudioctl show <codec> <nid>		#      "
```
