Power-management? How would that affect the sound driver? I
thought you were talking about APIC - the extended interrupts. In any
event, I have power management disabled and I have tried it with both
APIC interrupts and without. I'm still failry skeptical about it being a
hardware problem because I can:
1) load commercial OSS drivers -> works
2) unload commercial drivers
3) load ALSA drivers -> does not work, strange error messages
4) Reload commercial OSS driver -> works
So, without rebooting (so no change in interrupt allocation, io
base whatever else) one set of drivers works and the other does not. BTW
OSS/Free drivers also do not work. What I don't know is how to go about
troubleshooting why the ALSA driver seems to not work?
