I have the same soundcard and experiencing the same problem. J. There is an upstream bug for this issues: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4899 I have the same problem. I have two sound devices combined through pulse audio. One is a USB Philips UAC3553B, the other is an internal audio device. This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Original reporter here. I no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce this bug. I can test it with the latest Fedora, but AFAIK the patch was not yet pushed to alsa, so I guess it's not fixed even in the latest kernel.. Changing the version to 13, because it's the latest version I tested. I have an updated F14 instance with this problem. So it has not gone away. You update the version to 14. As I play mpd on this system for about 18 hours a day, there are log messages about every two or three minutes. I been having problems wherein the system continues to play music, but everything else seems to freeze. I have to power off reboot to recover. Confirmed that I also have M5451 audio device. lshw output: *-multimedia description: Multimedia audio controller product: M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device vendor: ALi Corporation physical id: 4 bus info: pci@0000:00:04.0 version: 02 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=ALI 5451 latency=64 maxlatency=24 mingnt=2 resources: irq:9 ioport:8400(size=256) memory:e0005000-e0005fff I am also getting this in my message log: Jan 22 15:19:40 walden6 pulseaudio[1887]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!

The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This is still a problem in F14.

At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Description of problem: I the following errors every minute or so when running any application that plays audio: ALSA sound/core/pcm_lib.c:181: BUG: pcmC0D0p:0, pos = 0x4000, buffer size = 0x4000, period size = 0x4000 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q kernel alsa-lib pulseaudio kernel-2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686 alsa-lib-1.0.22-2.fc12.i686 pulseaudio-0.9.21-5.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run any app the plays audio (mplayer, flash, etc.) 2. 3. Actual results: I get abrt notifications of a kernel fault. Viewing the fault, I always see the same error. Expected results: I should be able to play sound without getting kernel faults.

This problem is not new to the current kernel. I'm reporting it now to avoid the fate of similar reports by others: the problem lingering unresolved until it is dismissed as belonging to an end-of-life product.
