I've tried alsa 0.9.6 and the latest test 2.6.0 kernel, both of them I am getting lots of static off and on from the alsa drivers. It doesn't matter what the mixer settings are, it isn't an overdriven problem, more like white noise replaces the normal audio at random intervals. It might work right for 30-40 seconds, then a few seconds of white noise, then normal, then back to white noise, etc.

I went back to 0.9.5, but had strange DSP errors and the audio would drop from 44k down to 8k in steps then give up. I didn't write the error down because I went to try 0.9.4 and it worked okay.

That said, 0.9.4 has no white noise problems, and seems so far to work great.

I'm using the 2.4.22 kernel, Sony Vaio SRX87 laptop, lspci -vv:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio (rev 03)

/etc/modules.conf:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-11 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd cards_limit=1 major=116
options snd-intel8x0 enable=1 index=0

Any ideas? Any other information I can provide, or some debugging to enable to see if there are any errors reported when the white noise happens?

Thanks!
