Comment 1 Steve 2011-07-02 07:18:38 UTC
I have tested the sound card and speakers under Windows XP and they work fine, so its not a hardware problem.

Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2012-06-06 15:41:31 UTC
Is this still hapenning with the 2.6.43/3.3 kernel updates?

Comment 3 Steve 2012-06-26 10:36:10 UTC
I tested with Fedora 17 with kernel 3.4.3, and the problem is still occuring.

Comment 4 Justin M. Forbes 2012-12-07 16:09:13 UTC
Is this still happening with 3.6.9 kernels?
