Some thoughts based on what I did today.  I did make a recording (twice
to make sure I didn't do it poorly) of the VM boot process.  So from the
time the VM initializes until you first see the win 10 desktop.  To my
surprise there is only 1 single CORB command during that process.  It is
this line and it is issued ~2173 times during the boot sequence of the
vm :

CORB[45] = 0x0 (caddr:0x0 nid:0x0 control:0x0 param:0x0)

So I don't think that was super helpful, other than it leads me to
believe that the audio device and speakers are not initialized until
needed, which might help shrink our search a bit.  I next took a simple
9 second wav file and placed it on the desktop.  I (trying 3 times to
make sure it was reproducible) booted the VM, cleared the logs, and then
clicked on the sound file to play it with media player.  It does play
through the speakers, so it seems like this data will have what we need.
I was also concerned that if the driver is enabled JIT then perhaps it
also disables it again when the sound ends, so I devised a way to
capture just the CORB commands between the time I clicked on the file
and I first heard sound....

I then used scripting to reduce it to just the CORB[x] lines and that
gives us the attached smaller list of 944 CORB commands (attachment
Play2Slim).

Title:
  [950SBE/951SBE, Realtek ALC298, Speaker, Internal] No sound on
  internal speakers, very very quiet on headphones

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been googling this issue for 10's of hours and tried many things.

  Relase of Ubuntu: 19.10

  Expected outcome: Music plays on the internal speakers and headphones.

  Actual outcome: I can barely hear audio using headphones with volume
  turned up to 150%.  Absolutely nothing comes out of the speakers. (The
  speakers sound great under Windows 10.)

  Complete alsa-info output is attached, but here are some snippets:
