please also see http://www.exit109.com/~jfraney/linux_on_pavilion_zt1170.html section "Lockup behavior: ". This seems to be related. This sounds like a driver problem, not a sndconfig problem. Created attachment 88744 [details]
test case
Yes, it sure seems like a driver problem, and it's also present in
kernel-smp-2.4.18-18.8.0
I've created this little test prgram I'm attaching here. When I run this, it
seems to writes some 4kB. to /dev/dsp and then hangs while the first second or
so of the sound keeps looping.
It seems however that there is some timing issue involved as well. If I
decrease the buffer size, sometimes the entire files can play (though the sound
is terribly broken up)

This error also occurs with kernel-smp-2.4.18-19.8.0 and with kernel-smp-2.4.20-2.2 from "Phoebe" as well. Further investigations have shown that the driver goes to sleep in linux/drivers/sound/emu10k1/audio.c line 241 but is never awakened. I'm here refering to kernel-smp-2.4.18-19.8.0 The VIA audio should work in current errata. The comments attached about emu10k1 later are unrelated. |

Expected Results: The full audio (I am not sure what it is) should have been played and sndconfig should have confirmed that it has initialized my sound settings. Additional info:
