This seemed to happen when someone IM'd me at the same time I sent an IM and the sounds ran over each other. I turned off the sound in Gaim for all but incoming messages but I still have that problem on occasion. 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: 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. Any ideas on how to get this to stop? Is it just a byproduct of a cheap sound card? Thanks, Jim __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
