Sean,

Sounds like your problem is identical to the one that we have been currently discussing in another thread this week; check the archives for a temporary fix at: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2008-April/007572.html.

I think that a proper patch can be made available soon.

Regards,

Z.

Hi All,

I've got a via8237 audio card, and I'm using the latest alsa driver 

via82xx, and I got a problem. Basically if I start playing say a music file, and then turn the volume up above 75%, My sound craps out and I get a muffled, very low volume version of the song, the only way I've found to fix this is to reboot. This also happens randomly at low volume. I thought it might be a hardware issue, but I've tried it on 3 other boxes with the same card.

Thanks for any input at all...
