Hi Glen 

I find myself at a time where I could possibly lend a hand,  would
someone like me be able to help with r...@freebsd.org?

Teach and I can learn I guess ...

I tend to excel but totally unsure if I can fit the bill!

Regards

Matti

Here I have been tracking 14.0 release candidates

Reminds me of when slashdot would announce a new release days before it
was actually released and then someone would remind them of that

I am using an Australian mirror so will probably need to wait an extra
day to be on the safe side  :-)

I am intrigued to how you guru's know this, is it  because you know

I applied the patch to /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/channel.c but am not
sure how to set hw.snd.fragsps=128. In my confusion I put it in
/boot/loader.conf and rebooted. However, sysctl hw.snd.fragsps gives
me sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.snd.fragsps'.

I tried a sound card with a CS4630 chip and still got the same thing.
Strange that it takes a while for the noises to appear. Anyway, I was
fiddling with settings using XMMS to play mp3's and found changing
either "resolution" from 16bit to 8bit or changing "down sample" from
1:1(44khz) to 1:2(22khz) fixes the problem. These settings are located
under audio i/o plugins -> input plugins -> mpeg layer 1/2/3 player ->
configure -> decoder. Also after using these settings (1:2(22khz)) for
half an hour and then changing them back to defaults ... sound was
good. I should add that running gkrellm (/ports/sysutils/gkrellm)
_and_ having the cpu monitor enabled makes the noises much worse.
Again, on my system this only occurs after several hours and of
course if I reboot all is well. If nothing else at least I've found a
way to avoid rebooting, I guess.

I get the same pops/crackling but using a SB Live!
I think it started happening when I switched from 4.x to 5.x
The strange thing is that sound works fine after a reboot but some hours
after that I get the noises. It only happens with music (mp3,ogg).
