This seems to happen when two people IM me at the same time. I turned off the sound in Gaim for all but incoming messages but I still have that problem on occasion. Having to reboot for this is pretty lame. My sysctl.conf is set to: hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 Xmms uses dev/dsp0.3 and Gaim uses /drv/dsp0.1 Here's my audio card: pcm0: port 0xe800-0xe83f irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci0 The above did eliminate those annoying messages that another app had grabbed the sound card. Any ideas on how to get this to stop? Is it just a byproduct of a cheap sound card? Thanks, Jim __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
