Hmmm this is elusive. My -current is from December 26th. When I put the sndiod in -ddd -a on mode everything started working well. Could it be that all it needs is a restart after a reboot? I can crontab that to be 5 minutes after reboot... Other than that my sndiod config looks like this in /etc/rc.conf.local: sndiod_flags="-f rsnd/0 -f rsnd/1" Odd stuff, is the -a on important? Thank you Alexandre! Best Regards, -peter
