Hello I write again about the following sent mail to misc: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=171260331305047&w=2
I use the link to the archive because I deleted all the mailing list mails then I can'f do a follow up. Anyway I have some news. If I run sndiod as my user with the following: $ sndiod -dd the browsers audio (firefox, chromium, ungoogled-chromium and iridium) works for about 10-15 seconds. After that it stops to work. The following are the logs: snd0: rec hw xrun, rused = 6720/7680 snd0: play hw xrun, pused = 960/7680 snd0: watchdog timeout firefox0: detached at -7200 + 0/480 snd0: software master level control enabled 0/output.level=127 at 6 -> dev_master:0: added 0/output.level=127 at 6 -> dev_master:0: removed The error seems: snd0: watchdog timeout If I run sndiod as user like the following (with -m play): $ sndiod -m play works very well. With ps aux | grep sndiod ti say that the process run as my user. If I run the rc script the process take the defaul user permission: _sndiop and _sndio with these permessions the audio doesn't work neither for few seconds. Other userful info: # audioctl name=auich0 mode= pause=1 active=0 nblks=16 blksz=480 rate=48000 encoding=s16le play.channels=2 play.bytes=0 play.errors=0 record.channels=2 record.bytes=0 record.errors=0 # ls -l /dev/audi* crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 42, 0 Apr 10 20:08 /dev/audio0 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 42, 1 Apr 7 17:34 /dev/audio1 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 42, 2 Apr 7 17:34 /dev/audio2 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 42, 3 Apr 7 17:34 /dev/audio3 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 42, 192 Apr 7 17:34 /dev/audioctl0 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 42, 193 Apr 7 17:34 /dev/audioctl1 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 42, 194 Apr 7 17:34 /dev/audioctl2 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 42, 195 Apr 7 17:34 /dev/audioctl3 Thus it seems a permission problem. But as I already said If I run "mpv my_video.mp4" audio works even with the default permission but now with browsers. Hope this is useful. Thanks all. Have a nice day. W.
