If it helps: the setup outlined below works for me (with analogue audio in an HP EliteBook 8570p).

IIRC this is for compatibility with the virtual_oss_ctl GUI. ---- grahamperrin@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:~ % tail -n 15 /etc/rc.conf virtual_oss_enable="YES" virtual_oss_default_args="\ -T /dev/sndstat \ -S \ -i 8 \ -C 2 -c 2 \ -r 48000 \ -b 24 \ -s 8.0ms \ -f /dev/dsp1 \ -c 2 \ -d dsp \ -t vdsp.ctl" sndiod_enable="YES" grahamperrin@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:~ % service virtual_oss status virtual_oss is running as pid 117. grahamperrin@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:~ % service sndiod status sndiod is running as pid 2212. grahamperrin@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:~ % cat /dev/sndstat Installed devices: pcm0: <ATI R6xx (HDMI)> (play) pcm1: <IDT 92HD81B1X (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) default pcm2: <IDT 92HD81B1X (Analog)> (play/rec) Installed devices from userspace: dsp: <Virtual OSS> (play/rec) grahamperrin@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:~ %
