I have been searching the FBSD site and Googling the web (oh, > I have problems with my SB Live card. emu10k isn't working very well in FreeBSD (4.5-stable). Check out the problem reports, search for 'emu10k'. I even followed up on one of them. As others have suggested esound works well -- in fact mp3s sound fairly good with xmms-esound (not great though). But wav files are cut off with popping noises, and without esound wav files are completely hosed. I hear -current has some or all of these problems solved though. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
