I am wondering if you are using the port for mp123 or not; I know that there are various small incompatibilities between the Linux and FreeBSD (VoxWare/OSS/Luigi) drivers, so it's possible that your version of mp123 doesn't understand the drivers it is talking to. If you are using the port, this should not be the problem, but if you built it from scratch or are using a Linux binary, it might. If it is the driver, you might want to try Luigi's sound code (pcm0). It is supposed to be much better (and much more supported). Another thing you could try is OSS's drivers, http://www.4front-tech.com/. They're commercial, but you can try them for 7 days for free. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
