This was working perfectly two days ago. Then the sound card (an Ensoniq AudioPCI card as device pcm0) stopped working. A hard reboot (power cycled) corrected it. It worked for a day, then stopped again. Subsequent hard reboots aren't solving the problem now. We're using "known-good" cables to connect the speakers, and the speakers work on other systems. Here's the dmesg line from the latest power cycle: pcm0: port 0xd000-0xd03f irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0 When you try and run splay, a message is returned that says "Failed to open sound device". No new packages have been added, no updates have been performed, and splay has not been recompiled or reinstalled. Any ideas, thoughts, or help would be greatly appreciated. This isn't for music or entertainment, we're using the sound card and speakers as an audible alert system for network and system alarms. Thanks in advance. - John Turner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
