That *is* strange! Myself, on amd64 3200+ with nForce3 chipset (snd_ich driver), I'm still running into the "pcm0:play:0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead" problem. Sound works fine after a reboot, but inevitably dies sooner or later. If anyone can offer a suggestion as to how to obtain some useful debugging info for this issue, I'd be happy to provide whatever I can. Could the fact that pcm0 and fxp0 are sharing an IRQ have anything to do with this? If so, how might I go about separating them? I haven't seen any further mention of this issue lately. Is anyone actively engaged in trying to solve it at this time? -- Conrad J. Sabatier -- "In Unix veritas"
