It happens whether or not I'm using the sound card, for example I could have the typical login sound, not use the sound for 20 minutes afterwards, and then there is no sound. It doesn't take more than about 3 minutes for the sound to fade and crackle out. I really don't know what causes it, but my guess is that it's a sound buffer problem. But once again - really unsure. I have tried all the options suggested in the ALSA readme for the ALC883, 6stack-dig has given me the best results. The link at the start should contain the information needed I think, but if you need anything else I'll gladly get it for you. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
