It was the first notebook I'd encountered with a Mastro-3 sound system, which was bleeding-edge beta at the time so I remember that part pretty clearly. The experimental Maestro-3 driver wasn't in the tree at the time but it worked just fine. Have you tried checking the PCI ID of the sound part? If it is a Maestro-3, it'll almost certainly work better with the correct driver. I seem to recall that the Maestro-2 driver would bind to the hardware, but not work, but I can't be sure because I've had this in /boot/loader.conf for the last 4 years (my current laptop also has a Maestro3): snd_maestro3_load="YES" In reference to your other issue with suspend, I'm pretty sure APMD didn't work with the m700 when I tried it, but I don't recall whether I tried 3.x or 4.x and stuff is undoubtedly very different with ACPI & 5.x... HTH. Cheers, AS
