I know someone with 4.2 who is more of a music junkie than I am, and he claims the same problems with his Turtle Beach card. (I'm not sure of the exact model.) I have made a few tweaks to the kernel because VESA support wasn't working, among other things, so I'd rather not update everything without a reasonable amount of assurance that I will get an improvement. Does anyone have any success stories with sound in the 4.2 kernel with an SB Live card? Maybe I'll look through the CVS repository and see if I can't make the new driver work with the old kernel. Once again, thanks a lot. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
