The alsa driver uncluded in newer versions of the kernel (>=2.6.1 ???) results in strange looped noises on a ice1712 device. I found a patch that solves this when applied to a vanilla kernel and I would like to have this patch merged into gentoo-dev-sources. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gentoo-dev-sources 2. configure and restart ALSA Actual Results: Noise when the device is used Expected Results: Played some sounds I have an Audiophile 24/96 which uses the ice1712-chip
Created attachment 24381 [details, diff] workaround from the ALSA-ftp This is a patch from the alsa-project's ftp. It fixes the problem when applied to 2.6.1 and 2.6.2-rc1
I found out that this is really fixed in gentoo-dev-kernel 2.6.2-rc1 allready..
Closing the bug you report that this is fixed in gentoo-dev-sources-rc1: if you still get this, please reopen the bug.
