May not be relevant but ...

I couldn't get sound going on this system (Intel Azalea) and tore my
hair out over it for a long time. Then one day, out of desperation, I
plugged the headphone jack into the microphone socket.

Yes, that's right.

Alsa had mapped the main bus to the wrong port.

Worth a try, but then I guess that's probably one of the first things
you did - right?

Or:

]# service alsasound status
