I found a solution, and post it here for reference. Hopefully it will help someone else. It all turned out to be an incarnation of the power save issues for the snd_hda_intel driver as described for Fedora 12 here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#hda-clicks I will report this to Debian shortly. The workaround as described for Fedora fixes the issue in Dabian. ;)Frode -- Da sa Gud: "Det bli lys!" Og det ble lys. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 1.
