I should have thought to check the logs before posting here. There are error messages in the messages file. This one is just after I reloaded the module. May 16 17:58:35 bahamut kernel: pcm0: ac97 link rate calibration timed out after 1341388 us And this one is at a seemingly random time. May 18 19:26:56 bahamut kernel:pcm0:virtual:0:dsp0.2:play interrupt timeout, channel dead There aren't any errors that show up every time I attempt to play a song, but I'm sure the above two are related. I have tried using mplayer, which is command-line based. Currently, /dev/sndstat shows my soundcard and nothing unusual, even though nothing will play. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I'd guess there's more than one thing going on, so try to eliminate some variables. In particular, use a command-line utility to generate audio. Also, watch for log messages, and for changes in the output of /dev/sndstat. ___ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
