Bug 354521

Description of problem:

I've tried two different cheap sound cards in a box I just installed fedora
7 on and with both of them the sound works for a bit, then I get a message
like this:

Oct 26 09:05:11 tomh kernel: irq 18: nobody cared (try booting with the
"irqpoll" option)
(followed by a backtrace from the soundcard handler).

There may be some sort of problem with the via chipset and soundcards?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.22.9-91.fc7

How reproducible:
Every time a little while after booting when I have a soundcard
installed (tried one from creative and one from diamond).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

sound gets screwed up

Expected results:

sound keeps working

Additional info:

Here's some sample /var/log/messages excerpts:

With the creative soundblaster 16 PCI card:

I see similar reports in bug 246056, bug 304431, and bug 310341, but they
don't seem to be explicitly soundcard problems, so I made this new bug
instead of chiming in on one of those.
