kernel-2.4.20-8 and kernel-2.4.20-9 seem to exhibit this new problem with my via82cxxx sound device that didn't happen during Phoebe or earlier Red Hat Linux. After using my Sony FXA36 athlon laptop for several hours chatting on gaim, it would begin to output this random garbage from the sound device. It seems to be isolated to the PCM channel because it disappears when I lower it to zero or mute it. These errors appear in dmesg. via82cxxx: unknown number of channels via82cxxx: unknown number of channels via82cxxx: unknown number of channels via82cxxx: unknown number of channels via82cxxx: unknown number of channels via82cxxx: unknown number of channels Assertion failed! chan->is_active == sg_active(chan->iobase),via82cxxx_audio.c,via_chan_maybe_start,line=1351 Known bug? I've been using Red Hat Linux on this laptop since RHL7.2 and I haven't seen this problem before. =( Warren Togami warren@xxxxxxxxxx
