 Would you show us the auich part of dmesg?  I guess its codec
 has no VRA not like:
 	auich0: ac97: ext id XXX<AC97_23,SPDIF,VRA>
 
 If it is right, please test a latest kernel of netbsd-3 branch,
 netbsd-4, or -current, not netbsd-3-0.
 
 Anyway, NetBSD 3.0.x won't have any fixes for such non-critical
 problems.
