Hi Yuriy,

I have been having an issuse with my SB Live 5.1 Digital card. Has
anything changed with the source code for the Creative Labs SB Live
5.1 Digital sound card(snd_emu10kx)? Everything was working great on
FBSD 7.0 Beta3 but when I installed a fresh copy of FBSD 7.0RC1 all I
get is digital noise from my speakers. I am using the same
configuration as I did in Beta3. I have searched the source code and
the archives but I don't see where anything has changed.

Please help, I am desperate. Below are my config files:

#cat /boot/loader.conf
autoboot_delay="5"
kern.maxfiles="25000"
hint.emu10kx.0.multichannel_disabled="1"
snd_emu10kx_load="YES"
atapicam_load="YES"

#cat /etc/sysctl.conf
dev.emu10kx.0._digital=1
kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864
kern.ipc.shmall=32768

#cat /dev/emu10kx
FreeBSD EMU10Kx Audio Driver

Hardware resource usage:
DSP General Purpose Registers: 44 used, 256 total
DSP Instruction Registers: 64 used, 512 total
Card supports AC97 codec, SBLive! DSP code

Installed devices:
EMU10Kx DSP front PCM interface on pcm0
Card is in digital mode
