Check if kernel converters are active when you play audio samples.(cat /dev/sndstat after setting hw.snd.verbose=2). Since the driver also needs Giant lock it may suffer from interrupt latencies with other devices. In addition if it share IRQ with other devices(e.g. USB) the issue would be noticable. -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon http://www.kr.freebsd.org/~yongari | yongari@freebsd.org
