Below I repeat the references, info and patch with my Signed-off-by. http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/2006-May/001193.html http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/2006-May/001199.html http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/2006-May/001247.html http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/2006-July/001456.html 1) in our lab, we failed in getting bad sound on a running system, despite a long and intensive heating; 2) we have succeded in reproducing the problem at the system start (with a probability of about 2/3) with a pre-cooled sound codec chip; 3) we have succeded in reproducing the problem on the system running Linux by cutting analog power supply from the codec, cooling the codec and reattaching analog power; 4) on wire, the problem looks like undervoltage of codec analog power (2V or less instead of 5V): meanwhile the codec tries to consume about 200mA (instead of <40mA), and the voltage regulator chip begins (from 100mA) reducing the voltage; 5) analysis of the situation with WinXP shows that the WinXP sound driver loading brings the codec analog voltage (and sound) to norm, and this state is tolerant to actions described under (3); 6) analysis of the WinXP sound driver loading allowed us to detect that very bit, the set of which normalizes the codec's analog power consumption; 7) a check with Linux has confirmed this. The attached 1-line patch against alsa 1.0.11 solves the problem (for our VIA EPIA SP8000). Signed-off-by: Andrey Liakhovets <liakh@xxxxxx>
