So my mail was delayed do to a local mail problem... I think I have answers to all of those questions. could you run the following: lspci -vvv scanpci -v ... I'm curious what the MAX_LAT 0x00 MIN_GNT 0x00 INT_PIN 0x01 INT_LINE 0x0b are from scanpci (part of xutils package). You will need to be root to run scanpci but not lspci. The output will be a little long... I'm thinking that the pci card might be locking down the bus for too long. There are supposed to be a way to limit how many cycles a pci device can hold the bus in a continuous chunk. I'm not sure exactly how to change the lengths right now but figuring it out shouldn't take too long. Also have you tried playing sound via a bfp? something like: mpg321 -s sound.mp3 | bfp _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
