At least IO rthink this OpenSound related. My computer has this intel audio chipset that needs OpenSound as our HDA driver seems not to support it. When my computer boots to Haiku, if I try to play any sounds (a M<P3 file, for example), I will get no sound. Even if I try severasl tim,es in a row, I will still ger no sound. But after somethinf around 10 or 15 seconds after the system boots than audio works. Any ideas about what would make it not work during the first 15 seconds after boot? syslog shows nothing interesting. -Bruno -- Fortune Cookie Says: Worthless. -- Sir George Bidell Airy, KCB, MA, LLD, DCL, FRS, FRAS (Astronomer Royal of Great Britain), estimating for the Chancellor of the Exchequer the potential value of the "analytical engine" invented by Charles Babbage, September 15, 1842.
