Only in my most recent 3.4-STABLE build have I ever gotten the infamous "DMA timeout - IRQ/DRQ config error?" message with my AWE 64. Also still seeing some chop, after reverting back from 4.0, but with a new cvsup of 3.4-STABLE. Apparently, the changes to the sound drivers were fairly recent, as my previous STABLE kernel, built around Mar 8 or so, had no such problems. -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ ICQ# 1147270 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
