When I boot 8-CURRENT, it makes some low yet very silent noise, too. In my case, with hdac or pcm device, 8-CURRENT fails to boot very requentry. It fails to prove a device and doesn't proceed farthar than that point. Now it only boots once in 5 or 10 reboots. When it boots, it prints lots of following messages. hdac0: HDA Codec #0: Conexant CX20549 (Venice) hdac0: unable to allocate widgets! hdac0: unable to allocate widgets! hdac0: unable to allocate widgets! hdac0: unable to allocate widgets! hdac0: unable to allocate widgets! hdac0: hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=1, received=0 hdac0: hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=1, received=0 hdac0: hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=1, received=0 hdac0: hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=1, received=0 hdac0: hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=1, received=0 I think this started happening about a week ago or so, sometime between 13 and 16th.
