If this machine is using a USB3 controller driven by the xhci(4) driver, then USB audio devices won't work. Support for the data transfer mode these devices use (called "isochronous transfers") is not yet finished. Progress has been slow mostly because developers with the necessary expertise have been busy in areas other than USB. This problem also affects USB video devices. > The second is that I have a VT420 serial terminal I’d like to use with > OpenBSD. I have it connected to a PL2303 USB-to-serial adapter.

For USB serial devices I just run cu(1) like this: cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -s 9600 In fact, 9600 is the default speed so I could omit the -s option in this case, but the -s option is required for other baud rates.
