The current status seems to be that several people still have problems with the driver though, so I'd like to stress two things: 1. Make sure that you always have the latest source code from http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/HDA/ since the code is updated on a daily basis (the directory is hidden by the index file, so date, size etc does not reflect the true nature of the files there). 2. Join #freebsd-azalia @ freenode and describe your problem. Email is a good way to communicate, but discussing bug reports and testing patches in real-time on IRC is a lot more efficient. -- Joel
