Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7
Version: 2.6.8-16
Error message: NONE
What I did: Enable on-board AC'97 sound chip.
Details: see also debian-testing and debian-kernel email lists two
messages, Subject: Sarge Sound Problems (since May 30). See [1] at end.
The sound seemed to work fine with kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7 (2.6.8-5) for
a while but I would experience an occasional problem with X hanging but
nothing that CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE would not cure. Finally (after about
two weeks - having installed several more sound applications) I started
exp
DAMN THING CRASHED AGAIN WITH SOUND OFF.
This time the screen blanked and keyboard locked up but I was able to
log in remotely. XFree86 was running with 100% CPU utilization.
Crashes *always* happen in evolution or mozilla but since they are up
almost all the time ...
I am going to go back to kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7 just so I can rule out
a hardware problem. I still have WBL installed though I have not booted
it since I installed Sarge but I can even revert to that.
Some details. Mobo is ASUS A7V8X-X (i think) and it has a Radeon card
in it. I don't want to flood you with info just yet. However, I notice
below the AGP aperture is reported as 128MB but I have only configured
XFree with 32MB (though the last apt-get update seemed to want to know
what video card vendor was so it may have re-written XFree86config).
Feel free to pass this on to Branden if it is an X problem :-).
>From dmesg:
This is odd:
input: PC Speaker
(there is a speaker plugged into the sound port but that is off)

[1] Executive Summary.
I only recently became interested in using sound so I have always
disabled the sound chip before installing (why this report is so late -
re Sarge Freeze).
The PC has otherwise been stable since it was purchased about February,
2004. It ran White Box Linux since it was bought but I installed Sarge
because the sound chip did not work on WBL (2.4.x kernel).

I am closing this report on the assumption that the bug is not in ALSA
per se. Please reopen the report if you can show that the ALSA packages
are at fault.
