I tried this patch and with: sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=1 sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=1 it works! so vchans seems to be the culprit... also one has to disable hint.pcm.0.via_dxs_disabled="1" from my pov its an improvement! but why is vchans making such big regression? shouldnt be via_dsx_disabled set on default on rev=0x78 (rev I use)? thnx, what other info/help can I provide? roman
