Description James 2009-07-01 04:07:37 UTC

When playing a sound, the sound card plays a short repeated sound (it sounds like a screeching broken record).  The lspci entry for the sound card is:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
	Subsystem: Dell Device 00c6
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
	I/O ports at d800 [size=256]
	I/O ports at dc40 [size=64]
	Kernel driver in use: Intel ICH
	Kernel modules: snd-intel8x0

The system has some odd log messages:

Jun 30 21:27:09 varda pulseaudio[2275]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 4294954008 bytes (24347811 ms).
Jun 30 21:27:09 varda pulseaudio[2275]: alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_intel8x0'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.

Removing pulseaudio was a successful workaround.  After disabling pulseaudio and rebooting, sound played fine with ALSA.

Comment 1 Lennart Poettering 2009-07-01 11:57:58 UTC

The ALSA driver seems to overflow in snd_pcm_avail(), reassigning to kernel.

Please paste data from alsa-info.sh --no-upload here.

For me latest koji kernel (2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686.PAE) broke audio experience.
It fails every few minutes with simple tasks like playing shoutcast stream with Amarok. Usualy KDE recovers after few seconds, but sometimes I have to kill PA and run it once again. Games (Nexuiz, UFO: AI) kill sound immidiately.
Previous kernel (kernel-PAE-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i686) doesn't cause any problems at all.

Here's my alsa-info.

Comment 4 Stan Trzmiel 2009-07-16 20:25:44 UTC

I can confirm my problems start with 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686.PAE kernel, I've downgraded it to 2.6.29.6-211.fc11.i686.PAE and problem does not occur.

In confirmation of previous comments:
This problem does NOT occur with kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.
This problem DOES occur with kernel-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586: sound is unusable !!!

Confirmation of bug on nVidia nforce AC97 implementation.

lspci -vv info:

sound starts playing fine most of the time but crashes soon after that, sometimes sound is scrambled right away.

Note that this problem also occurs with kernel 217 from koji on Dell Inspiron 8500.
