In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have SB AWE and the sound is good at first but then it starts this constant plobplobplob. If I swith liste off and talk on and talk off and listen on then it plays Ok for a while and starts again. I think some buffer fills and sound driver is doing something not so good. Maybe cutting part of buffer out and trying to catch time up ??? Seppo On Thu, 7 Mar 1996, Doug White wrote: > On Wed, 6 Mar 1996, Danny J.
