Dear list subscribers,
 
I have installed OpenBSD-current on my Acer C720p Chromebook.  
I am using -current because I had problems with X11 with 
the 5.7 release.
 
Audio used to work out of the box on that device with earlier 
versions of -current, but has stopped working in the most recent 
version I have installed (Playback of an MP3-file with either 
VLC or mpg123 produced no sound)
 
$ uname -a
OpenBSD alex-acer-720p.my.domain 5.8 GENERIC.MP#1206 amd64

Excerpt from dmesg follows:
 
[...]
azalia0 at pci0 dev 3 function 0 "Intel Core 4G HD Audio" rev 0x09: msi
azalia0: No codecs found
[...]
azalia1 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 "Intel 8 Series HD Audio" rev 0x04: msi
azalia1: codecs: Realtek/0x0283
audio0 at azalia1
[...]

(The entire dmesg can be found at: 
http://www.alexshendi.org/tmp/dmesg-c720p-20150730.txt)

However I had some success in getting sound to work: I added the line:

sndiod_flags='-f /dev/audio1'

to /etc/rc.conf.local

Now playing an MP3-file in VLC works, but I'm not able to adjust the volume
in VLC. Does this have something to do with /dev/audioctl?

I noticed that both /dev/audio and /dev/audioctl are symlinks to 
/dev/audio0 resp. /dev/audioctl0. Sould I change these links 
to point to audio1 and audioctl1? 

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Alexander
