Bug 588350

Quoted from the attachment:
E: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_delay() returned a value that is exceptionally large:
872395264 bytes (4945551 ms).
E: alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'.
Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.

Is pulseaudio the right component?

alsa-util should be a better component...

Please, could you try the latest ALSA driver?

# wget -O alsa-compile.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-compile.sh
# chmod 755 alsa-compile.sh

Compile and insert new ALSA kernel modules:

# ./alsa-compile.sh --driver --kmodules

Note that above commands do not replace the Fedora ALSA kernel modules in /lib/modules tree. Look to URL bellow for more details.

It seems not ;)

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.34-0.28.rc3.git3.fc14.x86_64/source SUBDIRS=/tmp/alsa-compile-script/alsa-driver-1.0.23.10.gc720f.50.gad2df  CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.34-0.28.rc3.git3.fc14.x86_64'
make: *** [compile] Error 2


Should I send this out to the mailing list or is it my fault, that I'm running an rawhide kernel on F-13?

(cross reference: the compilation issue also popped up in the threat starting at http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2010-June/028272.html )

I can confirm that both alsa-driver-1.0.23 and  "./alsa-compile.sh --driver --kmodules" fail on x86 with same error


http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/73596/focus=73602

It seems, like this problem is gone now.

Can't find any problems in /var/log/messages anymore.

Will see again this week, and if I can't reproduce this, I'll close this...

Thomas: Can you compile alsa-driver now? I still can't ...

No, it still fails with the same error like in comment #6.

But this bug in snd_hda_intel seems to be gone for me, so closing as CURRENTRELEASE.


(If you want to leave this bug open as a tracker for the compilation failure, feel free to reopen.)

alsa-util.c is belonged to pulseaudio

http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=blob;f=src/modules/alsa/alsa-util.c

Have you try this patch  ?

seem only Fedora 13 has this bug 

I can compile alsa-driver-1.0.23 in Fedora 10

Looking at Makefile , it seem to be an unified Makefile for x86 and 64

and there is warning about the compiler in Fedora 13

I confirm this bug in fc13.x86_6:
I downloaded ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.23.tar.bz2

The alsa-compile.sh and build system is fixed for latest Fedora kernels. Use instructions in comment#3 to build the latest ALSA code.

it still fail 

however , it can be build after yum remove kernel-devel ( seem there are two versions of kernel-devel removed ) and yum install kernel-devel

Thanks Jaroslav!
For me it works after installing the latest kernel-devel and follow the the instructions on http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Driver_Compilation
cd alsa-driver* && cd utils && wget -O alsa-compile.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-compile.sh

Be sure to use Internal Audio analog Surround 4.0 since HDMI doesn't work yet.
Also; you won't get surround; but simple stereo.
