Hm...
0) make shure you don't have sound.ko from 6.2 loaded into 7.0 kernel.
1) make shure that you don't have emu10kx driver from ports installed,
use emu10kx from CVS
2) If you use emu10kx from CVS, do you load it from loader.conf or
kldload it later?
3) If you load it from loader.conf, try to disable it in loader.conf and
kldload it later and report any changes (crashed / not crashed)
4) save your sound.ko
5) Try to build sound.ko with
http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/midi-patch applied. report any
changes (crashed / not crashed).
7) restore your sound.ko (or revert that patch and rebuild sound.ko)
7) Try to build snd_emu10kx.ko with patch7 from
http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/ and report any changes (crashed /
not crashed)
8) If you stll have problems after 7) and use custom kernel
configuration file or custom /etc/make.conf or custom /etc/src.conf --
please send them to me. I'll also need small info about your card,
dmesg|grep emu10kx will be enough.
9) If you use custom kernel or make.conf, you can also try to build
GENERIC kernel with empty make.conf (make buildkernel
__MAKE_CONF=/dev/null) , and try to reproduce your problems with this
kernel.
