That's something odd with the VM. As the chip itself has never shown such a problem on real systems, maybe the best action would be to just skip the clock measurement on VM. The measurement itself is unreliable on VM, so it makes more sense. That said, something like below would work? thanks, Takashi --- diff --git a/sound/pci/intel8x0.c b/sound/pci/intel8x0.c index 2d1bfbcba933..b75f832d7777 100644 --- a/sound/pci/intel8x0.c +++ b/sound/pci/intel8x0.c @@ -2199,6 +2199,9 @@ static int snd_intel8x0_mixer(struct intel8x0 *chip, int ac97_clock, pbus->private_free = snd_intel8x0_mixer_free_ac97_bus; if (ac97_clock >= 8000 && ac97_clock <= 48000) pbus->clock = ac97_clock; + else if (chip->inside_vm) + pbus->clock = 48000; + /* FIXME: my test board doesn't work well with VRA... */ if (chip->device_type == DEVICE_ALI) pbus->no_vra = 1;
