Uh oh, this looks like the problem I have with my a7n8x deluxe board + sata IO + drop-out . See the threads http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg17399.html http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg17641.html I'm still digging the issue. Lee Revell asked me to "try the -rt kernel, enable latency tracing and post the output." So far, I've can't boot this rt kernel (Still trying though) If you could get these traces on your side, it would be helpfull.
