Alsa 1.0.7 driver package oops kernel while using azx modules with 2.6.9-gentoo-r4
and alsasound from alsa-utils

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable everything alsa (except alsa module support) from kernel
2. ALSA_CARDS="azx" in /etc/make.conf and emerge alsa-driver
3. /etc/init.d/alsasound start 

Actual Results:  
Kernel oops (but that does not happed if i manually compiler alsa-driver 1.0.7
using ./configure --with-cards=azx --with-oss=yes ... but still sound quality is
very bad, has a lot of crackle and noise)

Expected Results:  
Enabled my sound card base on intel 915g chipset (Azalia advance audio)

What is the name of your soundcard module? Maybe you could try the -rc2 kernel, there are many updates from alsa-cvs in that kernel.

Comment 2 Tariq Firoz 2004-11-21 23:04:24 UTC

have tried mm-sources 2.6.10_rc2-mm1, but does not help.

Please try the in-kernel drivers rather than alsa-driver package. If the issue still exists (I suspect it will) then please report this as an upstream bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org and let us know the outcome.
Thanks

azx is not present as in-kernel module, i have filed a bug with kernel guys, I think we can wait for sometime before closing it ?

I just commented on that bug on kernel.org [1] with an oops printout. 

Sound folks: Can you take a look at this and see if we can figure this out w/o waiting on the kernel folks? Wasn't sure if you've seen this before.

Cheers

Actually, I think it's best to use the alsa-driver package as the latest alsa-driver release is newer than the in-kernel one... but I digress...  it it reported upstream to the alsa developers already here:
