Mine very often gives that same message about the DMA buffer when I boot. I wrote to the tech support and they said it was a known bug in FreeBSD. The solution is to run soundoff and then soundon again to reload it until you succeed. But I never do. Even with the error message, the sound still works. > Brian Sletten wrote: > > > I recently cvsup'ed to 3.4 and my OSS drivers stopped working. The soundon > > utility just hangs.

Write to their tech support, they have always been very prompt and helpful for me. -- Best Regards, Joseph You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm. Colette.
