Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am getting the following messages printed to the kernel log, apparently coming from Luigi's new sound driver (I updated to the latest version): FIOASYNC (A WHOLE LOT of messages that just say "FIOASYNC", then) timeout flushing dbuf_out.chan, cnt 0x4ac flags 0x00000641 I'm also seeing this: sorry, read DMA channel unavailable sorry, read DMA channel unavailable ... These messages usually only show up during fairly heavy system load (i.e. when I'm doing a lot in X and the system is swapping, and I also have timidity playing a MIDI file or am playing a game that uses sound). Maybe this has something to do with it? The system is FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE. It's a home-built Pentium 133 machine running on a motherboard (don't know what brand) with 256K pipeline L2 cache, the motherboard chipset is the VIA VT 82C586VP (I think they call it the "Apollo VP-1") (rev 35). Disks on this system include: PRI MAS (wd0): Maxtor DiamondMax 4.3GB Ultra DMA 33 SEC MAS (wd2): Western Digital Caviar 2.1GB (PIO Mode 4) SCSI controller: Adaptec AHA-2940AU UltraSCSI PCI SCSI 0 (sd0): IBM 0662 Fast SCSI-2 SCSI 1 (sd1): Iomega Jaz drive Sound card is a Sound Blaster ViBRA16C PnP card.
