Not an expert, but I believe the audio on motherboards are switching to USB.
You can find that information on the specification on the motherboard.
Example for an MSI X870 MAG TOMAHAWK-WIFI

Cheap boards seem to still use HDA and even older chips than the 1220, because well, they are cheap.
The cheapest USB would probably be the original version ALC4080 (as seen above).
ALC 4XXX would mean its a USB version.
