Well, dump the card in your toilet and flush it :) The audio drivers in FreeBSD 3.x (both voxware and Luigi's new driver) treat the SB Pro 3.1 as a 16bit card. Unfortunately, the SB Pro 3.1 is an 8bit card. And that's what causes this (and a couple other) problems. Some applications (like mpg123) can be forced to use 8bit mode. These programs will work with a SB Pro if you set the appropriate flags. All other programs won't work correctly. I don't know if this behaviour is a bug or a feature. I'm afraid it's the latter - it may be neccessary to support all those cheap soundcards and their "SB Pro emulations" and/or legacy modes. /s/Udo (been there, done that, bought a used SB16) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
