>Description:
I have an aging/aged dell cpx laptop.  Sound does not work, no matter what is done.  This laptop uses snd_maestro.  I have followed all the instructions I can find on the web.  I have inserted snd_maestro_load="YES" into /boot/loader.conf.

cat /dev/sndstat shows FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) / installed device:[blank/none].

Dmesg shows pcm0: cannot allocate status buffer

I know sound was working in a previous release that I have now reinstalled - 9.1 release 7.

I have also tried the 10 beta 4 only to find the same problem.
