I am running -current cvsup'd as of a day ago. First of all, with the generic kernel, any attempt at using audio locks up the computer and requires a hard reboot. I went in and deleted all sound entries except azalia and the lockups ended.
Here is how I finally got sound out of the laptop. Set mixerctl outputs.volume=255. Set inputs.dac4=255,255 or set the mixer control on XMMS to dac4. Still I have no headphone output. The previous post on headphone audio didn't work for me. Sincerely, Rob. -- "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds" Bob Marley, Redemption Song
