Since your result is not something that other people see, it is also possible that you have a bad motherboard-- eg bad connectors on the board contact, bad memory, etc. You do not say what kind of computer, or motherboard you have (it must be fairly old to have ISA motherboard slots). You also do not say which drivers you are using. Also make sure that you are NOT running pulseaudio. Note that if ALSA hard hung all computers when using these older soundcards, the airwaves would be full of complaints. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
