Running 4.0-RELEASE. Very strange behavior: mp3's work, cat'ing .au's works, but playing wavefiles fails. And it fails *without error*. For example, waveplay file.wav 'successfully' opens the device and pumps all the data to /dev/dsp. But it does this almost instantly with no sound being played. Every once in a great while, it might actually play something but it usually doesn't. These cards both seem to work in a different box that has 5.0 on it, and previously ran 4.0. Couldn't find anything on this in the archives. Motherboard? BIOS?... Any ideas? Thanks, k. p.s. Sorry if this is a repost - I first sent it to 'multimedia@freebsd.org' and it bounced. -- Ken Marx, kmarx@bigshed.com Create value for our company knowledge base!! - http://cgi.bigshed.com/~kmarx/cgi-bin/speak.cgi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
