I have recompiled my kernel, including SB support as a module. Using modprobe SB esstype=1869 now gives me sound. However, when I play a wave file, I get choppy, repetitive cuts. I'm using the program wavp. It seems to play each portion approximately 4 times before moving on to the next segment. The utility 'saytime' works, but runs with long pauses before each word. Much slower than with my other machine, using a Gravis Ultrasound card.
Can you offer any tips for tuning up what I have?
