The problem may be that awacs(4) might not be the right driver for the Mac Mini.

The Mac Mini appear to use an "AOAKeyLargo" audio hardware, which
appears to be a DAC without mixer present. According to a message to
this mailing list [1], this is supported by an aoa(4) driver available
at [2]. You can try it and test.

Some also got sound working from snapper(4), although aoa(4) is
supposed to be the right driver for this hardware.
