I saw a similar question in the forums, but I didn't see a resolution, 
so I'm asking again...

I'm having a hell of a time getting the sounds to work on my Dell 
laptop.  I can play the wav files directly using 'play' from a shell, 
but I get strange errors when Kismet tries to spawn it.

The details:

(from dmesg)
Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.21, 00:45:09 May 31 2002

(from syslog, when kismet tries to play sound)
i810_audio: DMA overrun on write
i810_audio: CIV 1, LVI 0, hwptr 800, count -2044

(When the sound craps out, these two processes are hung)
root     11960  0.0  0.1  2036 1016 pts/2    S    23:29   0:00 /bin/sh 
/usr/bin/play /usr/local/share/kismet/wav/new_network.wav
root     11963  0.0  0.1  2368  988 pts/2    S    23:29   0:00 sox 
/usr/local/share/kismet/wav/new_network.wav -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

These two commands both work from the command line when run as root and 
as my kismet suid account, but I get an error:

[share@slacker shared]$ sox /usr/local/share/kismet/wav/new_network.wav 
-t ossdsp /dev/dsp
sox: Sound card appears to only support 2 channels.  Overriding format

I've fiddled with some of the soundopts in kismet_ui.conf, but no luck 
so far.  Can anyone help?
