Thanks, Shawn.  Here is the output:

SunOS Audio Framework

Audio Devices:
0: audiohd#0 Intel HD Audio, ICH8 (DUPLEX)

Mixers:
0: audiohd#0 Intel HD Audio, ICH8
        Sigmatel HD codec: STAC9228X

I implemented Brian Ruthven's SoundOnLogin=false fix to get rid of the bell
when the login screen shows up, and after logged in I used xset to quiet
the system bell down.  With these two fixes, the system is pleasant to work
with.

Thanks to everyone for your help.
