Created attachment 337105 [details] pulseaudio-log Description of problem: Not sure if this is a kernel, alsa or a pulseaudio problem. Feel free to reassign. I tried in the latest kernel from koji, because it contained alsa-rewrite-hw_ptr-updaters.patch to fix some pulseaudio errors. Playing sound on my computer doesn't work, because the sound is always crackling. After updating, pulseaudio crashes within short time, usually within minutes, with the following in messages: Mar 28 14:28:20 platon pulseaudio[3040]: alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 60,00 ms Mar 28 14:31:35 platon pulseaudio[3040]: alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 70,00 ms Mar 28 14:31:35 platon pulseaudio[3040]: alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 80,00 ms Mar 28 14:31:35 platon pulseaudio[3040]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 4294952932 bytes (24347805 ms). Mar 28 14:31:35 platon pulseaudio[3040]: alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_intel8x0'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.

I updated to the latest kernel in koji, but pulseaudio still quits after a short time.

Lennart, was that duplication intentional? This is snd_intel8x0. Bug 485734 is (was?) clearly intel-hda only. Should it be bug 472339 instead?
You are right. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 472339 ***
