With my SB128 I had a sound lag of a second or so, but with my SB16ViBRA-X it was perfectly OK... until I cvsupped to 4.3-Stable, then the sound was gone in Quake3, demo version as well as the full version. Unreal Tournament still has sound though. I worked around by installing the OSS evaluation driver (from www.opensound.com) which works OK, except that it can crash your machine (happened one time until now during loading). I suspect the breakage in pcm has to do with the 'mega commit' for the sb16 driver during 4.2-Stable. When I have time, I'll try it out. > If it is not at all possible for the sb live to have sound in quake3 , how > would one go about setting up dual soundcards (i have a old yamaha > xg-something) > lying about. > Compile support for it in your kernel (or load the module) and make a second snd device, i.e. snd0 and snd1. I had the SB128 and the ViBRA for a long time together in my machine and it worked OK. But remember that you cannot have both Voxware and pcm at the same time. > I also seem to be having the exact same problem with quake-gl (from the > quakeforge port) > Didn't try that one... > I have tracked down several posts on this list, and newsgroups, but they > are rather dated and am not sure how accurate they still are (a vast majority > were for freebsd 3.x and quake1/2). > > I also ran across a post by luigi which said that the mmap calls weren't in > 3.x , but he was unsure of 4.x/5.x , but this is also sadly dated. > In 4.1/4.2 they apparently worked for me with the sb16, but at the moment they don't in Quake3 :-(. And I don't know about the sb live, sorry... Karel. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
