HDA Intel has been nothing but a total disaster for me. I built a new system a few months ago using an AsRock ConRoe945G-DVI motherboard. After the system has been up for a while (it could be anywhere from a few minutes to a few days) the sound device would "lockup". eg "cat /etc/passwd > /dev/sound/dsp" would just pause and never finishes. Sometimes "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart" gets it going again, other a reboot. Another thing was that the mixing was very flaky, it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. I started off with the kernel alsa drivers then changed to alsa-driver but the problem persisted. So I got fed up and a couple of weeks ago I just bought a cheapo sound card to replace the onboard one, and haven't had a problem since. -- Crayon -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
