Hi Im using a fairly recent build of 4.0 STABLE and lately i've run across a problem which kinda freaked me out. Im using the pcm driver with my SB PCI 128 card and I have a CREATIVE CD1220 IDE CD ROM. After playing an audio cd for awhile, (this seems to happen just all of a sudden, i've been in X every time it has happened and i think i'm pretty sure i was running linux-netscape each time it occured.) What I start hearing is a sound which could be explained as dropping a pin or a can on the ground that bounces with a breeze type kind of distortion in the background. It should perhaps be noted that every time this has happened I havent been using any application to play my audio cd's, i've just used the controls on my drive. This "pindrop sound" continued even after I removed the disc from the drive and continued every 5 seconds or so, this sounds like crack smoking yes or something interfering the speakers. But the fact is that when this happens /dev/dsp becomes busy and no other processes can access the sound driver anylonger. Something is using the sound driver and the only solution seems to be a reboot. Weird? Yes, but it just keeps happening. -- - Carl Johan Madestrand <calle.madestrand@norrgarden.se> - IRC: Lord_CJ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
