By searching other mailing lists, now I know that it is a kinda known bug in the voxware3.5 driver. Is there any effort going on to fix it? FYI, I tested with different memory sizes using MAXMEM option (32M and 64M, the latter is the physical memory size). Guess what? With 32MB memory, mpg123 worked! Not always, but most of the time did with one line of (annoying) opening message: >> SoundBlaster: DSP Command(0xd4) timeout. IRQ conflict ? I give up. My conclusion is that, unfurtunately, FreeBSD sound system is broken. I don't know whether it is the voxware driver or other parts of kernel. I had no lock with OSS driver either. (They also mentioned a problem with dma buffer scheme or something like that.) cheers -- Kee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
