Aloha, Can someone tell me where the sound card interrupt priority lies in the FreeBSD scheme of things? I'm still trying to figure out why my audio output skips and stutters occasionally with BSD 3.0-RELEASE and is rock solid with win95 on the same hardware. A `find' in the background makes BSD stutter a lot, but still has no effect on win95 audio. Shouldn't the sound drivers have the highest priority of all on a system with SCSI disks? I"ve talked to others with similar problems on different hardware so mine is not an isolated case. I've had the same problem with the BSD drivers and the OSS drivers. My system is a 200MHz MMX Pentium with 64Megs RAM, Adaptec 1542 SCSI, Soundblaster AWE64 gold. I've looked at the code but can't make sense of the interrupt priority levels. Is there an easy way to give the sound drivers top priority? Thanks Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
