Confirmed, Audio Jack front & rear works right after installing Windows, even without any external driver installed.
Front headphone jack can only act as LineOut, no difference or any Line In function when connecting to L+R+Mic connector.


Somehow, Realtek driver provided by Intel & the version I used to install are either NOT able to install at all, with error in driver installation phase during installation of the Realtek driver set.
after some googling, there is no clue so far. error -0001, seemed like a "Generic Error".


4 Images are attached

Disagree, Device Manager does not show front audio port working; no headphone mic or speaker. Device Manager does not show Optical on rear audio port. By the way, Tweaktown says the NUC has 4 microphones on the front panel panel.

Attach Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound/Playback and Recording screenshots
May have to right click for Show Disconnected Devices

Well, first answering the question:

Playback: Same setup, 6 HDMI, Only 1 Speaker (item 2nd). How it acts, is either plug in front or back, there's ONLY ONE jack outputs audio, and front audio jack has higher priority. And it's not telling me "whether front or rear is plugged", but only a "plugged in or not" indicator.

Record: How it works, is only 2 microphones. according to the test to these microphones, I'll have a conclusion attached below. And by inserting a L+R+Mic earphone, no audio-in showed up here.

This is showed in #59, page 6, and I did some actual testing:

By blocking the hole of each microphone pieces and monitoring from output, I found that that's actually Mic1(Mic-L,Mic-R),Mic2(Mic-L,Mic-R). A layout like this:

The number mic1 / mic2 is not relevant with the node or anything "hardware perspective".

SPDIF seemed not working right after the Windows installation, but no drivers can be installed since Realtek driver fails itself from #82. I don't know why.

I'm sure the "Show disabled / Not connected device" are both selected.

Additionally:

I am attaching some Device Manager with different scenario:
No Jack is plugged:
Rear jack out.PNG
Front Jack's plugged
front jack in.PNG
Rear jack's plugged:

Both jacks' plugged, only front has sound:

The sound output switching between each scenarios when I do these plugging & unplugging thing is instant.

NUC8i7HVK/ALC700 does not support the audio devices noted:
Intel® NUC Kit NUC8i7HVK
394366

Intel fail
Google: NUC8i7HVK audio problems
Windows: no analog audio, no TOSLINK, no HDMI audio; no solution, 9 months
Likely, macOS/HDMI audio working

Yes, and I think that’s the end now.
As long as HDMI audio and VoodooHDA for rear jack is working now, there’s no need to rush for the AppleALC until Intel solve this problem and it’s quite not stable during the process (Realtek failed too). I’m staying tuned into the BIOS Updates.

Sincerely, Thank you.
Intel fails ;)

Bad news.
Google: NUC8i7HVK audio problems
Serious audio problems, no NUC HDMI, SPDIF, Line out audio
Codec dump shows the codec is not configured to support the available audio devices in Windows or Linux; L + R + mic (F) or L + R (R)
The current macOS solution only supports HDMI and SPDIF digital audio
User lmshsqlc has a front line out working with Voodoo
Check for latest BIOS, attach codec dump
Otherwise, contact Intel

Correction: the VoodooHDA working Jack is rear jack.

There's no BIOS update relevant to Audio problems since the beginning of the problem reported in Google. And however, some problems constantly happen in this model NUC8I7HNK. I don't know if there're any other model using ALC700, dump and configure on their device should be well appreciated to the codec I think.

And update:
VoodooHDA 2.9.1 is STOPPING hackintosh from booting in macOS 10.14.4



Now I'm deaf without bluetooth headphone lol
awaiting for VoodooHDA.

And an interesting discovery:
the clover bootloader has a boot sound feature, and can detect the outputs
It detected the 6 HDMI outputs and rear jack as well as the front jack, which they're marked as "Realtek"
Once I turned on the test sound, rear is output normally, but when I selected front jack(not even test output), it freezed.
well I don't know whether we should continue or not.
But I'll write it down for people coming after can see this.
