It worked great, ( and so did previous releases - thanks so much!) ( date in filename seems strange, as all the files are dated between 4th and 7th of May 07) My sound card is : pcm0@pci0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0x05b71014 chip=0x26688086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801FB/FR/FW/FRW Intel High DefiNition Audio Controller' class = multimedia It is detected in dmesg as : pcm0: pcm0: kldstat: 4 1 0xc0907000 13be0 snd_hda.ko 5 2 0xc091b000 3dadc sound.ko Anyway, a few days ago I upgraded my kernel + world to -STABLE: FreeBSD ayiin.octantis.com.au 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #1: Sat May 26 12:31:11 EST 2007 root@ayiin.octantis.com.au:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AYIIN i386 which includes its own snd_hda :). Now, this version of the module (the one included in /usr/src, basically), outputs choppy sound when under high cpu load. It also seems to be doing small chirps every now and then (Very strange :D ). I replaced all the s*nd*.ko from -stable with your binary files and it all works sweet again. I haven't done any particular configuration , other than : hw.snd.maxautovchans=8 in /etc/sysctl.conf. Is there anything I can do to help figure out what the problem is? thanks!! _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak, and remove all doubt.
