Hi Chris, Have you tried turning off the PCM driver with the -Pnull command-line switch?
Apart from that, it would help if you could narrow down the dates in the CVS dev tree rather than releases since a lot of CVS commits to the sound code were occurring at around that time. So you are sure that sound was working in CVS on Jan 7 - on what date would you say it had stopped working? Jan 10? Jan 14? (Believe me, I would do this bug-hunting for you if I could reproduce the problem! ;-) ) Alex. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Kennedy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 4:07 AM Subject: [freesci-develop] Re: Chris' no sound problem (was Error LNK2001...) > Okay - I know for sure that it hasn't worked for me in March.
