Hi everyone. I've been using snd_emu10k1 for a long time with my Audigy 2 Platinum and it has been working great. Recently I moved to FreeBSD 7 and was experiencing problems recording (I believe the same or similar issues to kern/119759), so I had to switch to snd_emu10kx to urgently get something recorded. With emu10kx I have noticed a few things that I have questions about: 1) The headphone jack on the front panel of the Audigy 2 Platinum is not outputting sound like it did with emu10k1. I have tried with all mixer levels up with no luck. Is this a misconfiguration, known bug/limitation, or an unknown issue that I should file a PR for? 2) I no longer seem to be able to mute the line input from coming out of the card while still recording from it. In emu10k1 I could set "line" in the mixer to 0, but "rec" higher with the recording source set to line and it would still record while not being outputted from the card. With emu10kx, if I set "line" to 0 even with the source set to line and "rec" at 100 no audio is recorded from the line. I have also tried setting the recording source to "line1" and setting "line" to 0 but then it does not record either. 3) Last night I noticed that I was not able to play any audio with a 48kHz sample rate. I'm pretty sure it was working after switching from emu10k1 to emu10kx but last night it suddenly stopped working. In XMMS or Audacity a buzz/stuttering sound is outputted when playing a 48kHz file. In mplayer, playing a video with 48kHz audio causes it not to play correctly (it will play a frame of video then stop playing). If playing video in VLC with 48kHz audio it will play the video only with no sound. If I try using jackd and ZynAddSubFX with a 48kHz sample rate it also does not output any sound. There are no errors in /var/log/messages or from the applications themselves so I'm not sure what is causing this problem. I did update some ports but I'm not sure if that's related to this, or what would cause all applications to fail with anything 48kHz. Below is some information about my setup. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
