Is 4.8kHz a typo? It should be 48kHz or 55913Hz depending on your h/w. Which of the two is all the calibration test is supposed to determine. Some ac97 controllers on ich based systems seem to end up using an alternate clock source: XTAL_IN rather than BIT_CLK. The former clocks the AC97 link at around 55913Hz when it should be at 48kHz. It wasn't clear to me until recently that this was what was happening and until some more testing is done I'm not sure if it's a feature of the ich driver ac97 initialization or just the way it is. I'm currently configuring a laptop to be a netboot server and will sneak up on an unsuspecting ich machine in the next couple of days and endeavor to resolve the problem in situ (right now I'm dog tired of exchanging patches for remote h/w, but that's not to say the offers are not appreciated in general). - Orion _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
