Hi,
sorry for the delay - I had some more work than I expected the last two
weeks... Now I got some time to try fixing my TV ;)

Hmm, seems, that's the problem. I'll paste you the output that appears
after including the lines you recommended in the fxtv source code.

I don't think I have another audio app running. The problem is still there
when I kill maudio and kwmsound.

It is a Gigabyte GA-5AX Motherboard with an AMD K6-II/400. The same
hardware had no problems before switching to FreeBSD 4.0. KDE does not
seem to be the problem, I tried it witouht any windowmanager as well and
there's no difference. So I think, the problem might be somewhere in the
new sound driver from FreeBSD 4.0?
Thanx for any help,
Oliver
