At least: Well the thing that makes me think it's not entirely related to sound is because when the sound problem happens, other things happen as well. As I have said, the mouse locks up and freezes at the precise time that the audio starts stuttering. If I was playing video, it would freeze/stutter at the same time too. > 1) What is your soundcard? Sound Blaster Augidy 2 Platinum with the emu10k1 driver compiled into the kernel. > 2) What type of scheduler you use? (I can see that is SCHED_4BSD) Right, SCHED_4BSD in the GENERIC kernel. > 3) Is PREEMPTION enabled? No, not that I know of. I don't see it in GENERIC, and I haven't added it. Thanks -Mark
