The interesting thing is with snd_hda. When CPU is 100% loaded (at least one core), it works, but with some crackling noise instead of the basses. When CPU is idle, the noise makes sound virtually inaudible. OTOH, snd_uaudio works great either way. I guess I'll have to discuss that with you in a separate thread/PR. My laptop hard drive developed bad blocks during the trip to EuroBSDCon. I'll bring it in for repairs tomorrow. I'll be glad to test whatever you throw at me when it's fixed. Thank you very much!
