The few times I've used the via82xx on my mobo (ASUS KT400, forget the model number), I've run into some applications that behave similarly. I never got it randomly - it always happened when an app (ie, xmms) would open the device and think it was in 44.1kHz when it was really running at 48kHz. I do music work on my box, so I've gotta stick with ALSA, but I've found for common stuff the ALSA interfaces suck pretty bad - nothing seems to know how to open the devices properly. As a result, I mostly use OSS emulation for non-music related things - Frank Barknecht has info at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin on setting this up. Runing all my audio through that fixes the problem, since it just resample everything to the running rate. -- Ross Vandegrift [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.
