After building today's -CURRENT OK (and observing that the behavior was still the same for my custom kernel), I tried building a GENERIC kernel. Much to my surprise (and different from my experience on 06 July -- last time I had built a GENERIC kernel for -CURRENT), that kernel did not exhibit the symptoms. I've now managed to circumvent the problem by: * Removing the "device pcm" specification in my custom kernel config. * Adding the lines snd_pcm_load="YES" snd_maestro_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf * Re-building the kernel. (cd /usr/src; make kernel KERNCONF=LAPTOP_30W) * Re-booting. It took a few tries to get things quite right, but sound works again; thanks to the patch in http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=26854, I'm (still) able to use the keyboard Fn+End chord to mute the sound during boot (so that process is less disruptive in meetings). (BTW, it would be nice to get that tiny little patch in before 4.4-R. Please?) And yes, Linux emulation still works. Cheers, david -- David H.
