Surprisingly this did not fix the delay. After all the trouble I had with MSI on the other system, I was sure it was related to the fact, that 2.6.33 tried to use MSI. 2.6.33 with snd_hda_intel.enable_msi=0: [ 1.155712] HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 1.158852] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/in put/input2 [ 1.232597] firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 00dc10000129c48f, S400 [ 1.252679] hda_codec: ALC888: BIOS auto-probing.

Info about the HDMI output: 01:05.2 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller [1002:7919] But that is a clear bug in the alsa code: After codec 0 (the integrated audio from the SB600) does not responds, it disables the MSI support for codec 1 (part of the intregrated graphic chipset). (I don't know if the HDMI audio support is working or not, as I do not have an HDMI display I could attach there.) 2.6.31 was working without the delay: [ 0.930754] HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 0.946676] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input2 [ 1.031402] hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC888, trying auto-probe from BIOS...

OK, just wanted to let you know, that there are MCP55 out there that do work with MSI. :-) Thanks, Torsten _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
