You might find the same problem getting passed through another audio device. I suspect that you will need to fix a hardware problem. Don't assume that audio noise is in software. You are surrounded by 50/60Hz noise caused by the power in your house/office/workshop. Electrolytic capacitors can go bad (Even brand new capacitors can be defective). Look up bad motherboard capacitors and you can find some pretty good pictures and information. You can find some good YouTube videos on it too. I would also suspect grounding problems as a possibility. Which can mean bad connections with cables even if they look good. You can be having a power supply problem too. Check for loose motherboard screws. Are you using the computer with the cover off? Do you get these noises with the computer on, but then turning off the monitor and moving the mouse around? Is your electrical wiring done properly? Do you have any other equipment hooked up that might be causing ground loops? Excellent videos on YouTube about ground loops and audio problems. Do you have any OLD radio or TV equipment that could be latching onto the computer noise and amplifying it? Also, if you can, go unplug (not turn off) things around that could be defective. For example, I have to throw away 3-4 USB chargers every year. Nowadays, hardly anything is actually turned off anymore. I used to hear noises like these too, but that was a long time ago... I could hear them in my memory while reading your email.

Audio issue: noise/interference
I recently resolved an audio issue where I could hear a constant, light static noise in my earphones. It wasn't loud or distracting, but it was always there. The solution was to remove 'mix' as a source for mix2 and mix3. However, once I got rid of that static, I noticed some additional noise that was apparently hidden behind the original static. Compared to the first issue, this noise is quieter and not constant. Anyway, it manifests itself in the following ways: 1) Very light static noise that never increases, but I've noticed that when I load a web page (YouTube, for example), the noise is silenced until the page finishes loading. This also sometimes happens when I move the mouse cursor around the web browser window, but very briefly. It's easier to notice when loading a page since it lasts longer. 2) Moving the mouse generates a barely audible buzzing sound, but this either doesn't occur or is barely noticeable when moving the cursor on a web browser window. To troubleshoot, I inspected all the cables in the back of the computer (power, DP, ethernet, USB keyboard, USB mouse, speakers/line), and unplugged them (except the power cable) one at a time. I didn't hear a difference, good or bad. I also turned some mixerctl knobs with no noticeable effects. Does anyone have any ideas? This isn't a big deal since I can't notice it while listening to audio, and it's pretty easy to tune out even without audio, but I'd still like to remove it if possible. I'm considering buying a USB audio interface, so if that even works, that could be a solution. $ dmesg OpenBSD 7.3-current (GENERIC.MP) #1269: Sun Jul 2 12:21:03 MDT 2023 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 16934760448 (16150MB) avail mem = 16401862656 (15642MB) random: good seed from bootblocks mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 3.1 @ 0xe (99 entries) bios0: vendor Dell Inc. version "1.20.0" date 12/15/2022 bios0: Dell Inc.

rare vi crash
The crash happens maybe a few times per year, and eventually resolved to
the following guard with the error "Tailq for buffer \xc8 is empty", but
I'm not sure how \xc8 is getting there, maybe I'm lingering on a control
key or something whilst flailing at the keyboard. Some idle testing with
"p did not reproduce the issue; the buffer
needs to be not empty, but not have a queue??

Re: APCI on old Thinkpad
Hi, Thomas Vetere wrote: Yep, Claudio is correct. I have an old 600e and this is an official statement from IBM support page long ago: *"The ThinkPad 600E is ACPI ready. ACPI is not installed, but the system hardware supports ACPI. While ACPI shows a great deal of promise for the future, numerous problems affect the operation of ACPI on ThinkPad and other notebook systems. Therefore, the system comes with Windows 98 running in APM mode."* So while it might correct, old ThinkPads - wonderful keyboards... wonderful chassis :) Never matched. However indeed - ACPI is a hit and miss... there were BIOS upgrades to install (you have to fiddle with floppies or old CD ISOs to install them... DOS and dark ages). which help a lot. I have tried on my 600 various linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD... some supported it, some not, disabling it by known bugs. Basic ACPI can work (sleep and such) other stuff is not useful anyway, processor fans were independent. Riccardo

Re: recommendations for web hosting in Canada?
I sincerelly reccomend you the software platform I'm using daily and since 8 years or so: Digital Ocean. They still own "Best software platform there is around" award at my side. They are in Toronto too (or wherever you need). Beside the usual commercial gems, budget conscious you can build whatever you like with they full understanding and support. Complex stuff is not forbidden too. But, live, you should adapt to Linux, no OpenBSD. FreeBSD was erased too. Thought: is it bad to have local stuff different from the live deployment? I reccomend you a custom installation of Docker then. Indeed for one static website (but Perl?) you ahould maybe wonder about any shared hosting offer. I know one but in North Europe.

Re: Intel DRM error on T 440
I am also getting this (or a similar) error on a different computer. Please note that this might be a longer story. I'll put some details before the dmesg. drm:pid96852:intel_dp_aux_wait_done *ERROR* [drm] *ERROR* AUX C/DDI C/PHY C: did not complete or timeout within 10ms (status 0xa023003f) I don't know quite what to make of the overall story with this box. It cannot boot even to the BIOS or anything at all on the screen unless the DP is converted to a working HDMI port at the monitor. I truly mean nothing at all shows up. DP directly to DP fails. Not below. Then it works fine. Right now, I am booting into HDMI. When it gets to the xenodm screen, I have xenodm kill that DP->HDMI connection and switch over to the other DP port on the computer and into a DP port on my 4k monitor instead. I have to manually change to that port from my monitor. Annoying, but it works 97% of the time. I briefly used Windows 10 that came with the computer to verify a few things. The display port does carry sound. Not on OpenBSD. Back to just OpenBSD use. The beep speaker carries real audio. I cannot find a way to turn this off other than just using the headphone jack to grab the audio. However, the actual beep by itself sticks around no matter what. At some point I would like to add a video card that will let me run programs like chrome or iridium. Any recommendations? I am clueless how to figure out that question. Thanks for any help.
