(usually updated 4 times a month). The distortion is not really that bad, but it's always present, under any load. Even with 98% CPU idle, at least a second or two every other minute the sound is not "real time" (but not choppy, just "slow"). One can live with that, but it would be great to get rid of it, after all that time without any change.. By the way, Intel configuration with onboard audio (though, don't know right now what it was), which is mostly a clone of the OS used on two Athlons mentioned above doesn't show these symptoms. They were present for some time near the end of 2003, but after then the sound is fine there (at least until about half of 2004, didn't check after that, but no one mentioned any sound problems with this one). And maybe one more thing - with one of the Athlons (the SB Live! one), the distortions were present during earlier 2003 with FreeBSD 4.x too. The symptoms were not the same and not that much visible, but still present from time to time. Without any load, of course. m. -- Michal Varga Stonehenge
