For the most part, everything is great. However, after installing KDE 3.3.3 out of the ports collection (from source, as 5.2.1 ships with 3.1.4 and I wanted the newer version), sound seems to behave oddly. Upon reboot, sound works from the console and also when KDE first starts up, although my "Starting KDE" system event sound is clearly cut short. Beyond that, no sound works either from X or from the console. I've looked at the process list as well as at loaded kernel modules, but can't seem to figure out what the cause might be. For reference, the kernel I am using is straight out of /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, but with the pcm driver added for sound (I have a Crystal Audio sound card, so have loaded no additional PCI/ISA drivers). Let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help track this down, or if someone has encountered this and knows a quick fix. When replying, please include my email directly as well as the list as I only get the digest and would like to keep the response separate if possible. Thanks a bunch in advance! _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Shop for Back-to-School deals on Yahoo! Shopping. http://shopping.yahoo.com/backtoschool
