Can anyone > help with this? I found nothing in the archives relevent. /dev/pcaudio returns EBUSY if you try to open it twice. It also might return EBUSY if it couldn't acquire the two timers it needs. You might want to add some debugging to /sys/i386/isa/pcaudio.c and see what's up. If you think something still has the device open, see what "fstat /dev/pcaudio" prints. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
