I don't know anything about this driver (you said you're using the one from the audio/emu10kx port), but there seem to be a bunch of knobs to play with. One is the analog/digital mode, which may be related (as I mentioned before, for a different reason, driving the audio in digital mode may work for you. You could also try the native emu10k1 driver, which is supposed to handle the EMU10K2 and EMU10K3 chipset-based Audigy 2 cards. You didn't mention if you'd done that before. [You also didn't mention which version of FreeBSD you're running, which may turn out to be relevant.] Be well. Lowell -- That's a really scary picture of Marco on his website...
