You don't need special privileges to use audio, you only need to enable the device in sndiod. To use both of your devices (internal and USB), you could run: rcctl set sndiod flags -f rsnd/0 -f rsnd/1 rcctl restart sndiod At this point you could run: aucat -f snd/1 -o test.wav and /tmp/foo.wav Note that this device is not full-duplex, it is suitable for recording but not for telephony in web browsers. -- Alexandre
