X250

OpenBSD 7.7

The fish installs fine and can boot through UEFI. The particular model I have came with a Realtek wi-fi card, which is not supported. I swapped it for an Intel one (7265) from a dead Dell. It works fine.

sound issues

Sound does not work out of the box. Playing a video or an audio file results in a very choppy output. The solution is to add the following flag to sndiod (the default is play,rec):

 # rcctl set sndiod flags "-m play"

The next sound issue was heavy static when headphones are connected. This was solved by:

# mixerctl inputs.mix2_source=dac-0:1
