I'm really not sure what it is. I've noticed if I'm under reasonably heavy load (top reporting 30%+) that my sound will start to 'stutter' momentarily every once in a while, it's sort of like this if it were in dialogue: "Hello Homer, Hello Marge..here's BaRRRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT ? He's at milhouses".. The *best* I can describe it is as 'digital distortion'.. I don't know of a good way to put it... It's rather annoying to try and watch dvd discs and have that happen, it happens with mplayer/xine/ogle/videolan, also with XMMS. Any help would be appreciated. The system is a 1ghz PIII laptop, 512mb ram, 30gb drive.. FreeBSD 4.5-CURRENT, DMA is turned on for my DVD drive.... Under XFree86-4.2.0 w/ Fluxbox 0.1.7.
