Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I've just installed a sound card in my FreeBSD box (wow, what luxury!) - but I need to know how I can set the sample-rate that the /dev/dspW device uses? I assume that /dev/dspW is 'wide' - i.e. 16 bits? - I have a sound file I'd like to play, cat'ing it to /dev/audio gives me horrible garbage, cat'ing it to >/dev/dspW does play it but very, very sssllloowwwlllyyy... So I'm guessing the device doesn't use the 44.1Khz I need? I've looked through the freebsd FAQ etc. - and did a quick search of the mailing lists, but I couldn't find anything :( The soundcard is a SoundBlaster16...
