Using the irqpoll boot option, the sound is correct, and I see four IRQ 20 per second (and none when there is no sound). 1) Can you confirm an expected IRQ every 250ms ? The APIC routes PCI INT B to IRQ 22, and alsa is expecting IRQ 22. Now I have to get alsa to expect IRQ 20 or get APIC to route an appropriate PCI INT to IRQ 22.... 2) Now I get a warning "hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj." What is the range of values I should try ?
