Dumb question probably, but did you include the csa(4) bridge driver?

Re: emu10k1 (soundblaster live!) still crackling.

2000-12-05 Thread Keith Jones

Since reinstalling my SBLive! Value card in my machine, I've encountered a
similar problem, but _only_ with mono audio output, never with stereo. The
card works fine under Win98 and (IIRC) worked reasonably well under Red Hat.

Can anyone else confirm whether it's just mono that's messed up for them?
(YMMV with other emu10k1 cards.)

Could people please STOP spreading this myth that all Signal 11's during
'make world' are a result of hardware problems. It is highly misleading. How
would you feel if you acted on this advice and shelled out your hard-earned
cash for new hardware only to find that it was a software problem after all?

The chances are that if a signal occurs as the result of running a particular
program (in this case 'troff'), it's likely to be the version of that program
or a shared library on which it depends that is broken somehow on the user's
machine, not the user's hardware.

You could try manually recompiling and installing 'troff' et al. (located
in the directory /usr/src/contrib/groff) then rerunning 'make world'.
