Well, that didn't work... :( I just did a build/make kernel/world and now have the following sound.c file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 19990 Nov 18 21:55 /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c I hope this solves the problem. My previous build was about a month ago. I've had to reboot my three BSD boxes about 12 times in total due to this buzzing. After the rebuild I enabled a few more sounds in Gaim, such as notification as to when someone logs off. I had one person logged onto Yahoo and Gaim at the same time. When they logged off the sounds overlapped each other and my sound card wigged out and started buzzing loudly again. Another reboot needed..... Any more ideas? later Michael Mercer Jim Arnold wrote: > Sometimes when I use Gaim and I get too many sounds > going at once my sound card gets confused and starts a > loud buzzing that can only be stopped by a reboot. > 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: <AudioPCI ES1373-B> 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.
