Earlier, Takashi Iwai suggested: Well, it implies that hrtimer is broken on your hardware. Just add a module option timer_limit=3 to snd-timer, i.e. adding a file containing below to /etc/modprobe.d/*. options snd-timer timer_limit=3 so I modified my /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf to include: "options snd-timer timer_limit=3" as below: alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 options snd-emu10k1 index=0 options snd-timer timer_limit=3 The problem still appears to be persisting, so I might try: options snd-timer timer_limit=2 Arthur. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
