Sound works like a charm in here (Amarok for ogg/mp3, Kaffeine for videos, Doom3, World of Padman, Quake3, etc, etc ), everything build from ports. The only "gotcha" are KDE's "System Notificactions" (start up, shutdown, etc ..). They are not exactly choppy .. they seem to eat miliseconds of sound ... sound doesn t cut .. it remains a stream .. is just that some miliseconds dissapear. Is there a workaround for that? I already tried: /etc/syscontl.conf kern.ipc.shmmax=100000000 kern.ipc.shmall=65536 but to no avail .. System Notificactions are still choppy ... maybe it's ony me ... Anyone getting the same on your systems? pciconf -vl pcm0@pci0:4:2:0: class=0x040100 card=0x80401102 chip=0x00021102 rev=0x08 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Creative Technology LTD.' device = 't4780010004541 Sound Blaster Live! (Also Live! 5.1) - OEM from DELL - CT4780' class = multimedia subclass = audio (just in case .. the card is _not_ an OEM from DELL ... it was originally buyed Boxed, brand new, and the exact model was Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer Edition, and it is 4.1). Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks :) -- Blessings Gonzalo Nemmi
