Running the latest X port under a very recent -stable, with the S3 Savage driver (S3 Savage 4). Under X, if I'm playing any sort of audio file, and try scrolling some text in a window, or even have an app running in an xterm that's producing a lot of output, I get a lot of very annoying interference with the audio. If I drag a scroll button up and down, the audio slows down and becomes horribly mutilated. I'm not sure what's causing this, if it's X, or the pcm driver. I never used to experience this. Audio used to play very smoothly, even under moderate to heavy loads. Now it seems like certain X events are generating an interrupt that's causing the pcm driver to temporarily be blocked. $ uname -a FreeBSD dolphin.idleplay.net 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Thu Mar 14 16:11:05 CST 2002 root@dolphin.idleplay.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386 $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Mar 14 2002 16:10:36 Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0x1000 irq 11 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex) ^^^^^^^^ Odd, I just noticed this.
