I don't recall this happening under 4.6. Sometimes the hardware apparently fails to initialize properly. The symptom is that there appears to be no clock for the recording process, ie; running 'audacity' or any recording program, no samples are taken and the time line stands still. Once in a while this happens on playback as well, but mostly on recording. Usually, a reboot will fix it. Sometimes it takes 2 reboots. Is something not initializing correctly? I'm using KDE3 with the artsd sound server. However, killing artsd and going directly to the dsp doesn't make any difference. Has anyone else seen this? -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
