Can someone tell me if the pcm driver is supposed to work with ICH4 integrated sound on an Intel motherboard? I read in the 5.0 release notes that there is rudimentary support. However when I attempt to play an mp3 file, the quality is very bad. Lots of static and hissing. If I play an audio CD, it plays just fine. Here's the output of 'cat /dev/sndstat' if that's of help: farmer> cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0xc800, 0xcc40 irq 11 bufsz 16384 (1p/1r/4v channels duplex default) Thanks, Drew
