I have the same problem.  Playing a pre-recorded audio file works fine
on
a sun4c.  Recording and then playing back gives a terrible noise.  I
tried
this with audiorecord, audioplay and cat /dev/audio.  I've tried this on
a
IPC running 1.4.3 and a SS2 running 1.5.2.  I'm guessing there is
something
wrong with the driver?  I was hoping to use one of these older
sparcstations
to decode the WWV/CHU audio signals that NTP supports.
