Clive check that one should be BASE 0x0330, but if your file definately says 0x310 then leave it at that.

I assume you haven't left out the "(SIZE xx) from your BASE lines in your working version. Have you configured the logical device ESS001 (mixer control port) as well? You haven't shown it but if you don't configure this then the mixer will not be activated and the volume etc will act in the fractured way you describe. At the moment I am repeating the same track over and over and have no problems with random repeat positions so I am at a loss to suggest anything to you for this. I've just killed the track after 30 uneventfull repeats 'cause fine though Bach played by the Orchestra da Camera di Roma is (well muLinux is Italian after all) it's becoming a bit monotonous.

Here's my extensa.conf ( minus 4 modems tape drive and ethernet card) and output from cat /dev/sndconf
