Hello guys. I am running kernel 4.0.0-rc7hc+ (the "hc" is my own versioning name). There seems to be less problems (the card doesn't get stuck at some point): this device continues to be a little bit unstable (i.e.: now the internal speaker doesn't work): [ 20.841143] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x000f0000 [ 21.843141] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: Codec #0 probe error; disabling it... [ 22.848327] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode: last cmd=0x000f0000 [ 148.125849] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: Invalid position buffer, using LPIB read method instead.
but I think this is due to the fact I restarted the system with kexec, not with a clean bios reboot. But I signaled this since it seems that also a sequence like: sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_intel # some time sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel
can trigger strange behaviours. But guys - this is probably not a problem that can be solved from the driver itself (as I imagine looking at the messages i got yesterday from pci/access.c). So - thank you for the help, and the tireless work you all put on this driver.
