> The sound > quality was staticy and crackley, not the clear sound I got from the > Windows machine. Have you tried playing say just a .WAV file with splay or something like that? If you have and it plays clearly, it must be a down to the CPU load. MP3s take considerably more CPU time to decode. If it sounds the same as the mp3, it could be a driver issue or a hardware issue. Incorrectly setup sound cards under FreeBSD can produce very weird results, for example just playing the first 10 seconds of a track or something like that. The handbook has very good instructions about how to install your card. Good luck. -- Niall James O'Higgins | njo@sig11.com | http://www.sig11.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Of course lazy people are more efficient - afterall they invest in things like tape drive auto loaders! -- Dan Quinn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
