I'm not sure if you have this problem, but when I use the pcm0 driver, I get 16 bit sound, but the playback is very very choppy and sounds horrible. Now I'm stuck with the snd0+sb0 device drivers, which only give me 8-bit mono sound. The nice thing about the pcm0 driver is it properly detects the sound card as an ESS1688, while the SB driver complains about the wrong sound card type, but it functions nonetheless. Any insights from a fellow laptop users would be appreciated. -- ---------------------- Pat Wendorf beholder@unios.dhs.org ICQ: 1503733 --------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
