I had the same issue right through lucid development. Adding the nohwcrypt option fixed it for me too. Thanks for getting to the bottom of this Lucious and psyke83... it destroyed my wifi on lucid for a long time! Toshiba A100-259 uname -a Linux nigel-laptop 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP

@Daniel, That package wasn't installed. Am now tracking lucid(2.6.32-2-generic and libasound2 1.0.21a-1ubuntu1) If I remove the line in alsa-base.conf the looping behaviour reliably appears after a short while. The dmesg shows: [84644.363779] HDA Intel :00:14.2: PCI INT A disabled

ok, I was too optimistic... the looping/repeating still happens. Every few boots, or after using sound for about 5 minutes the looping returns. reboot required to recover. -- [karmic]snd_hda_intel: audio moves to polling mode and starts repeating (Toshiba A100-259/ATI IXP SB4x0 HD/ALC861)

Thanks for the suggestion! Ok, tried that option and the sound looping/repeating starts immediately at login. These lines now in the dmesg at boot: [ 46.152017] hda_intel: No response from codec, disabling MSI: last cmd=0x001f0500 [ 46.152086] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated

Apologies, there was one more (possibly relevant) dmesg line I missed from my previous comment: [ 11.165206] HDA Intel :00:14.2: irq 24 for MSI/MSI-X A random thought occurred; I know very little about this sort of thing and so this is possibly a complete red herring: [1.832519]

OK, so with 2.6.28-12-generic #43-Ubuntu the SATA issue was less obvious, but it turned out could still manifest under heavy disk access load. Further I continued experiencing unpredictable lockups/freezes with the flashing caps-lock. I've now tried a mainline kernel: Linux nigel-laptop
