Greetings. My sound was working fine until I reinstalled FreeBSD after a hard drive crash (due to an incident involving MS-DOS that I would rather not discuss :-/). Now everything I play (.wav files and .au files) is one (or perhaps two) octaves too high and twice (or four times) as fast. I'm using the NAS software, which doesn't seem to be at fault because "auedit" reports the correct duration of the sounds. I can't get "rplay" to work, so I can't test NAS for certain. Also, the sound is fine under DOS (booting from a floppy), so it's not the sound card. It seems that my configuration of the kernel must be at fault. However, I've recompiled the kernel many times, removing support for OPL, removing SoundBlaster emulation, etc., to no avail. Perhaps it is some other kernel parameter I screwed up that changes the ISA bus speed or something. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? Andy P.S. My machine is a Dell Dimension 486DX33 with 16MB RAM, a 325MB Western Digital IDE hard drive, a Syquest EZ135, and a Logitech SoundMan 16 (basically a PAS 16). The only other things on the ISA bus are an unused ethernet card (3Com Etherlink 3 for sale!) and an unused modem; the video is VLB.
