When I start playing my favourite mp3 (mpg123), it's almost inaudible, and I have to increase the master volume using e.g. xmix. For about 1 second, the sound is perfect, whereupon it starts fading out to that initial inaudible level. The only way to keep the volume up is to continuously move the sliding bar in xmix up and down (slightly). I've tried using various settings for DMA channels (e.g. the default 0&5, also 1&5, 0&3, 1&3, etc.) all to no avail. Maybe someone can fill me in on what's going on inside the driver... it seems to be working (and working well at that); however not being able to maintain a constant volume level. I also tried downloading the latest ESS snd sources from www.jp.freebsd.org (the exact link location is in /xperimnt/ESS) - the result is the same. Please help if you can Thanks Dean _______________________________________________________ Get your free, private email at http://mail.excite.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
