@Christopher: This bug has been fixed in the kernel 3.5, so yes, it should be fixed when using Ubuntu 12.04.3 with the kernel 3.8. I guess I can change the status to 'Fix Released'
Note that with this new kernel, there is another bug: LP: #1170917 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987298 Title: Sound card takes time to be initialised Status in The Linux Kernel: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: It seems my sound card takes time to be initialised. `dmesg` shows me a lot of lines with: "hda-intel: spurious response". After that I have this line: "hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode" and then a lot of lines with this message: "hda- codec: out of range" Note that the sound work but it's a bit annoying because ligthdm is frozen until the sound works... According to this document: => http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt#81 It seems that it's a knowing bug but how can I help to fix it? :) WORKAROUND: I can load snd-hda-intel module with this option: probe_mask=0x103 or by adding this line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf : options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0x103 I still have no sound at start-up (the first 30-40 seconds) and I still have a lot of errors messages with dmesg but now lightdm is no longer frozen for a few time.
