From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jonathan Masters Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 16:22:51 +0000 Subject: Re: hdd & sound Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-sound@vger.kernel.org I noticed that too. I only have esd running on the sound card, but it seems to do this with/without esd on /dev/dsp. Anyway, here is: cat /proc/interupts ------------- CPU0 0: 5059285 XT-PIC timer 1: 46017 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 4: 1320764 XT-PIC serial 5: 34087419 XT-PIC soundblaster 11: 187 XT-PIC eth0 12: 1547997 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 834840 XT-PIC ide0 15: 10788 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 ------- killall esd ------- cat /proc/interupts ------------- CPU0 0: 5060624 XT-PIC timer 1: 46051 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 4: 1320769 XT-PIC serial 5: 34093966 XT-PIC soundblaster 11: 187 XT-PIC eth0 12: 1548207 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 834860 XT-PIC ide0 15: 10788 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 and here is cat /proc/sound: [mastersj@periscope mastersj]$ cat /proc/sound OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver loaded as a module Kernel: Linux periscope 2.2.11 #22 SMP Thu Aug 12 03:00:17 BST 1999 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Card config: Audio devices: 0: Sound Blaster 16 (4.16) (DUPLEX) Synth devices: 0: AWE32-0.4.3 (RAM512k) Midi devices: 0: Sound Blaster 16 1: AWE Midi Emu Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: 0: Sound Blaster So esd makes no difference.
