The easiest way to reproduce it was in the game Starbound. Teleporting, quickly the computer would freeze. I could freeze the computer in seconds doing this.
While the 4.10 kernel available to install with linux-generic- hwe-16.04-edge has this bug, I believe this problem is corrected in the 4.11 kernel I downloaded at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v4.11/ I was able to play for many hours without the problem since I installed the kernel version 4.11. There are change notes regarding ALSA on kernel.org, I believe they are related with the problem I was having. Or I am being absurdly lucky or the bug was corrected on upstream. ** Tags added: kernel-fixed-upstream -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687353 Title: System freezes due to ALSA error and recovers after significant time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+bug/1687353/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
