Hey, could you try the following: aucat -dd -frsnd/0 -i whatever.wav and send me the output. If you don't have a .wav file, just use any large bonary file (ex /bsd) it will produce noise. If it hangs, while above process is still running, could you run: audioctl; sleep 1; audioctl and send

Also try 44100 Hz. I tried but audioctl will not let me lower the Hz rate below 48000 Hz. Probably the native freq but it's strange it'd interpolate in software. Is there something else I can try before getting a PCI soundcard? Update BIOS and any other firmware. As far as I know, the BIOS
