This is a reply to a really old message from back in March. I reported that the sound was sounding slow on my dell inspiron 8000 with a maestro 3 sound card. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=191566+193956+/usr/local/www/db/text/2002/freebsd-mobile/20020317.freebsd-mobile I just figured out what was going on. I run wmbattery in the windowmaker dock. Each second it polls for the status of the batteries, which coincides with the sound slowing down briefly. If I use /usr/sbin/apm I get the same slow-down as wmbattery. I'm not sure if this is specific to my laptop (Inspiron 8000 with a maestro3 soundcard running FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE from a few hours ago) but I'd thought I'd report it anyway. > : > Sound works great for me on my Maestro3 in my 8100.
