Hi,
Do you mean that the sound seems unclear all the time?
I've also had some problems with sound on my FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE, but a different kind of. Sometimes I hear crakings while playing mp3 files with XMMS, although my computer's load is very low. I use "snd_emu10k1" sound module as you do with a Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1.
There is another driver that may be worth trying here: http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/. I'll give it a pick when I get more time.
I have problems also with sb live. There was discussion before that increasing some buffer in the driver made the problem less. And enabling PREEMPTION would help also.
But since the last discussion I got my onboard audio (ESS) working, which is ok for me.
I also wondered that the snd_emu10k1 is marked as MPSAFE, while other sound drivers aren't, but the others perform better. But I don't know if it has anything to do with it.
Search the archives for more discussion about this.
Ronald.
