alsa-info.sh output when I have sound

Description of problem:
Since the 2.6.34 kernels were pushed, I randomly "lose" my sound card at boot times. See http://www.alphatek.info/2010/09/04/sound-is-gone-who-should-i-blame/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686, kernel-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.i686 (same behaviour on all 2.6.34 kernels)

How reproducible:
I lose my sound card about 1/3 of the times I boot my computer.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the computer
2. Look in the Gnome sound preferences under "output"
3. There should be 2 sound cards listed as you can see on the blog's screenshot. Instead, only the "RV710/730 Digital Stereo (HDMI)" is listed when the other sound card is "gone".

Additional info:
lspci -vvv output for the sound card:

Interesting... when you have no sound you are getting these messages in the log:

ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:711: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x001f000a
ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:750: hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode: last cmd=0x001f000a

But there's no obvious reason why that would happen.
Can you attach /var/log/messages from when it's working and when it's broken?

Comment 5 Steven Moix 2010-09-25 16:19:11 UTC
As requested, the 2 /var/log/message files are attached as they appear after a reboot. Since I opened the ticket, kernel-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686 has been installed on the system but the problem still persists.

Comment 6 Steven Moix 2010-11-05 17:41:40 UTC
Since I reported the issue, the PC has been upgraded to Fedora 14 beta and now final and the issue has completely disappeared...I guess that we can close this ticket as there is no software/hardware combination to test it anymore?

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2011-05-31 13:48:25 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2011-06-28 13:01:25 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
