Hello,

Since kernel 3.0.11 I have quite terrible sound artifacts - random pops, clicks and short pauses (~500ms). Linux kernel 3.0.0 is *bug free*. So, some some of patches in kernel *3.0.11* broke the driver, the bug is, of course, present in kernels 3.1 and 3.2.

Could you give alsa-info.sh output to check more details? Also, any chance to identify which 3.0.x release breaks the things?

thanks,

Takashi
