I suspect driver bug; it's fine with my SBLive (using ALSA with its OSS) regardless of timer frequency. > I have a trusty old ISA "SB16 value" card, which for some reason only works > with the OSS driver, modules "sb" and "opl3" (the ALSA driver doesn't > detect the hardware, shame on the developers/testers!). Well, if you know what I/O ports, interrupts and DMA channels are being used for the card, you can always modprobe snd_sb16 and friends with the appropriate parameters. Presumably, you're familiar with isapnp... FWIW, the kernel developers are planning to remove those OSS drivers which have adequate ALSA replacements. So if you haven't reported your ALSA problem against the appropriate package, you should do so reasonably soon. -- | Darren Salt | nr.
