It's a bit older than yours and it works every boot. I'm writing this so if there's a driver bug you and the devs have a known good starting point for saying that the Audigy series is broken on. % hwinfo --sound 37: PCI 506.0: 0401 Multimedia audio controller [Created at pci.378] Unique ID: hH_P.QwBw58LB0qF Parent ID: qscc.UsCA9N2eQqB SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:05:06.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:05:06.0 Hardware Class: sound Model: "Creative SB0350 Audigy 2 / SB0243 Audigy 2 OEM" Vendor: pci 0x1102 "Creative Labs" Device: pci 0x0004 "EMU10k2/CA0100/CA0102/CA10200 [Sound Blaster Audigy Series]" SubVendor: pci 0x1102 "Creative Labs" SubDevice: pci 0x1003 "SB0350 Audigy 2 / SB0243 Audigy 2 OEM" Revision: 0x04 Driver: "snd_emu10k1" Driver Modules: "snd_emu10k1" I/O Ports: 0xb180-0xb1bf (rw) IRQ: 20 (6519080 events) Module Alias: "pci:v00001102d00000004sv00001102sd00001003bc04sc01i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: snd_emu10k1 is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe snd_emu10k1" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #29 (PCI bridge) % uname -a Linux Phenom-II-x6 5.8.14-nopreempt-Radeon-SI-reiser4-dav10 #2 SMP Mon Oct 12 17:41:08 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux % grep snd_emu /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 20: 0 0 0 6519080 0 IO-APIC 20-fasteoi snd_emu10k1 I'm in the process of replacing my CPU, RAM, and MB, because, as you might have noticed above, one of the cores is dead. I'll tell you if it works with my new motherboard and CPU. Also, it would probably be helpful for the devs to know: 1: Is yours a PCI or PCIe card? (Mine is PCI) 2: If a PCI card, what type of adapter are you using?
