BIOS?... > I have a similar problem with Ensoniq SB PCI64 (ES1370). If I play something with sox, using 'play', say $ play a.au it plays it for the first time. If I immediately type the same command again, play returns with no sound played. If I wait several seconds and then retry, the sound is played again. Even worse with recording audio (using 'rec' from sox). One time something is really recorded, another time what gets recorded is a random white noise of high intensity. -- === Grigoriy Strokin, Lomonosov University (MGU), Moscow === === contact info: http://isabase.philol.msu.ru/~grg/ === To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
