[alsa-devel] snd-intel-hda: screaming IRQ with 3.5.3 kernel (HDMI)

[Chris Rankin]

Hi,

I have recently added a Radeon HD4670 to one of my older PCs, and have noticed 
that it has IRQ trouble when I try to enable the HDMI audio:

irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.5.3 #2
Call Trace:

This is frequently followed by KMS trouble too:

irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

Does anyone have any suggestions, please?
