Hey all - I'm running FreeBSD 3.0-current with an SMP kernel on a Dell Workstation 400 with two 300Mhz P-II processors and 256megs ram. :-) The Workstation 400 has a Crystal CSS4236B sound chip on the motherboard. The only driver I've been able to get sound working with on this machine/kernel is "Luigi's" plug and play pcm driver. I couldn't get the "standard" Voxware drivers to work at all, and the OSS drivers (which I bought) don't work with SMP kernels (annoyingly enough). Luigi's sound driver works OK, but I'd like to see a more robust, complete sound solution for this machine. When I try to run "timidity" (the software wavetable midi player which used the GUS patch set), it starts out sounding nice for about half a second. Then it starts mixing in an incredible amount of noise until its completely unbearable to listen to. Similarly, some games (like xgal) make horrible noises... I wonder if this could have something to do with SMP? Other things, such as xanim, mpg123, and a few others render sound without any trouble. Does anyone have any suggestions? -------------------------------------------------------------------- \||/_ Alok K.
