My old Compaq box with an Allegro soundcard in the motherboard used to work fine (after a lot of work) under 4.0-RELEASE. Now under 4.7-STABLE, it doesn't work anymore, and won't play anything except system beeps. At one point I was also running 4.4-STABLE (and 4.6-STABLE, too I think), and it would occasionally give me "channel dead" messages, and would come back alive after a reboot sometimes. /dev/sndstat says: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <ESS Technology Allegro-1> at io 0x1400 irq 5 (4p/1r/0v channels duplex) I've been trying to play mp3's with mpg123, amp, etc., and have tried cat'ing wav files and other data at /dev/dsp, /dev/audio, etc. to no avail. Anyone have any pointers on what may be wrong or what I could do to get it working again? About the only possiblity I have been able to think of is that the work I did to get it going under 4.0-RELEASE may need to be partly or completely undone, now that the driver is included in -STABLE. But I didn't want to try anything without advice from Someone Who Knows.
