My system is running: FreeBSD eris.sharding.net 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #5: Fri Oct 26 18:19:06 PDT 2001 root@eris.sharding.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/ERIS i386 (cvsuped on 10-26). I saw some similar problems in the archives and on Deja, but no conclusive answers or solutions. Various applications have different problems. xmms pops an error that says it can't "open audio" and then just decodes the files to disk. mpg123 looks like it runs normally, but no sound comes out and it exits much more quickly than it should. 'play' from sox does sometimes make sound come out of the speakers. But it just plays the first little bit of the file several times and then exits. Sometimes it exits silently, sometimes it says "sox: Error writing: Error writing data to file". In my logs, I get: Oct 28 15:31:57 eris /kernel: pcm0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead /dev/sndstat says: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Oct 25 2001 18:03:37 Installed devices: pcm0: at memory 0xf8c00000, 0xfda00000 irq 5 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex) dmesg says: pci1: on pcib1 pci1: at 0.0 irq 11 pcm0: mem 0xfda00000-0xfdafffff,0xf8c00000-0xf8ffffff irq 5 at device 0.1 on pci1 So I'm kind of stuck now. I'm not sure where to continue with troubleshooting. Any thoughts on what's happening here?
