But I was setting up an account on this box with KDE for a Windows-using friend. All works well except the sound ... Although starting the KDE session it works okay (system sounds, MP3s, Oggs), after a while something goes funny and all sound comes out as mangled noise. This persists on exiting KDE and returning to the command line (e.g. testing with mpg123). This is KDE 3.0.0 on FreeBSD 4.6.2. Has anyone else had this happen? What's causing it? Is there an easy way to kick the audio driver into behaving, e/g/ unloading and reloading it, in FreeBSD? - d.
