 Issue:
 When the system boots the speaker output is generating a constant tone or
 buzzing sound from the moment that is loads the azalia driver.

 Things I tried:

 I can mute the tone by issuing the mixerctl outputs.master.mute=on command.

 I have tried different powered and non-powered speakers, plus head phones 
 with
 no change in condition.

 Can anybody shed some light on the issue?  If you need further system
 information, please ask.

 I have included a copy of the dmesg, mixerctl, and audioctl output from the 
 4.7
 system below.

 TIA for any assistance you might provide.

 so, what's mix got?

 try experimenting with that, to see if it's one of those creating
 the noise.  I'd probably take the mics out first.
 

I tried setting inputs.mix_source to each setting above.  Here are the results

# mixerctl inputs.mix_source=dac-0:1no sound
inputs.mix_source:  - dac-0:1
# mixerctl inputs.mix_source=micyes, very quiet
inputs.mix_source:  - mic
# mixerctl inputs.mix_source=line-inyes, very loud
inputs.mix_source:  - line-in
# mixerctl inputs.mix_source=mic2   no sound
inputs.mix_source:  - mic2
# mixerctl inputs.mix_source=dac-6:7no sound
inputs.mix_source:  - dac-6:7

Their is nothing plugged into the line-in.  Eventually, I need the line-in to 
work.

Thanks for any help!

so, set

$ mixerctl inputs.mixs_ource=line-in

and then play with the other line-in controls.  azalia(4) describes the
mixer item names.

 Thanks for any help!
