Apologies. I read no sound and ALC256 and my tired brain did s/speaker/microphone/g because I have two machines affected by the same and the question came up from other people fairly often... Maybe a stupid idea, but is you speaker muted via hardware and it's not reflected in sndioctl? I have one laptop where the hardware and software mute states are independent. (or rather not correctly synchronized on OpenBSD) Nice Laptop btw. I had forgotten about tuxedo. Best Regards, Stefan
