My symptoms have ranged from non-playback and softlock of xmms, to a constant looping sample, to occasional pops and slow/speedy playback. I have my audio apps pointed at /dev/dspW0.0- and have had circumstances where xmms could not playback through the device, but after killing it, mplayer could. Then other circumstances where just no sound worked at all- and the apps would just kinda hang- I reverted to some unknown kernel from 2 weeks back or so and it works reliably with the popping (which I can live with) Incidently, in this state, XMMS experiences these problems but mplayer never does while playing movies. And yes, I've disabled all of the kernel debugging/spin checking/witness invariant stuff- it seems to make no difference. --- Ryan Freeman wrote: > On Tue, 9 Mar 2004 22:06:05 +1100 > matti k wrote: > > > On Tue, 9 Mar 2004 07:05:24 -0800 > > Ryan Freeman wrote: > > > > > hello, i've searched the web for hours and hours > and only found one > > > hint of evidence that i'm not the only one with > the following > > > problem. > > > > Try a search that's not FreeBSD specific. > > > > > i found this post from several months ago that > details the > > > same problem i'm having: > > > > My solutoin was more bad luck than anything else. > I had a motherboard > > fail and the replacement has onboard sound, which > works fine.
