One thing I forgot to mention, and which is the whole reason I decided to send this to the list, is that the ESS Audiodrive does not play in Stereo under 4.2-Release or 5.0-Current. Sound is in mono, out of both speakers. The music being tested shows very clear, clean stereo separation under 4.1-Release. The upgrade to 4.2-Release was done via Sysinstall, which I eventually downgraded back to 4.1-Release via the brute force "delete-everything-except-/pub-and-/proc-and-do-an-FTP-Install". At that point (after I compiled my kernel as usual), sound returned to normal. The upgrade path from 4.1-Release to 5.0-Current was of course done via CVSup/make buildworld/make installworld followed by a normal kernel recompile to get my preferred settings into place. -- ___________________________________ _____ _____ | _///@@@| | | natedac@kscable.com /'//ZZ@@|____ | | |'''/ |'/@7 | | http://home.kscable.com/natedac |`'| `~~' | | | `| .--. | | C64/C128 - What's *YOUR* hobby? | `\____|___\ | | \_ | | |___________________________________ \_____| _____| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
