IIRC, audio group is added to stable/15, too, but switches for audio device to audio group is NOT merged not to violate POLA. This is described in /usr/src/UPDATING at the entry dated 20260521. https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/UPDATING#n42 Please habitally confirm UPDATING. I believe it should be a good habit.
