I did a full-bore update of 6.2 and didn't see anything new (timestamp-wise) in the sound/ directories... . I'll rebuild and reinstall. Anyway: experimentation has taught me that the snd_ad1816.ko at least drives the BEL speaker. So, while I hear the log[in|out] fuzzily, the other WAV sounds are clear. Another thing: with snd_driver.ko installed (by /boot/loader.conf) I have *no* sound; with just the keydb driver at YES the internal speaker works. And the tiny red [x] is not displayed.) With snd_sb16.ko or snd_sbc.ko I get some results by catenating /dev/sndstat. But zero sound. cat foo /dev/dsp is not permitted as a test. [ That html sound page is seriously out of date! ] The only possibilities I can see are a bad sound card or the banana plug in the wrong jack [ doubt].
