Hawkins" Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 12:13:39 -0500 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG My own machine is back, and almost everything is working again. The broken ports are a separate issue, but I still don't have my sound back. I use pcm, and every application (well, at least those that can send messages) tell me that the audio device is already in use --which is wrong. How do I figure out what has wrongly locked it? hawk -- What part of "non-negotiable" didn't you understand? /"\ ASCII ribbon campaign dochawk@psu.edu Smeal 178 (814) 375-4700 \ / against HTML mail These opinions will not be those of X and postings.
