OpenBSD Audio Issues

2022-09-06

Apparently, I lost this post from a few years back. I wanted to get it documented again so there was a record for SOMEBODY to possibly have assistance.

I’ve been using a Lenovo T470s for a while. On a fresh install of OpenBSD, I noticed that I would get stuttering or choppy video trying to view anything through a web browser.

There’s two different ways that this is introduced, one is in the bios, but at this moment, the solution escapes me. The other way is through sndiod flags. Setting the sndiod_flags to -m play and then restarting sndiod usually fixes the issue after quitting and reloading the web browser.
