I've just tried disabling all the USB ports in the BIOS, but that hasn't changed a thing. I also discovered that the IO port address for the sound card can be set in the BIOS, and tried to fiddle with that, but that also made no difference. I don't get it, the dmesg output clearly hints at an IO port problem, but there is no conflict for that address. I suspect some obscure bug has creeped into either ALSA or into the kernel itself. I suspect that it's probably more likely to be the kernel... Thanks for the hint though.
I suspect this is more kernel related than anything. I say this simply because of two reports of similar problems arising from different configs. Both are having I/0 and/or IRQ (more i/o AFAICT) problems. Both have VIA chipsets. Both have devices detected properly and the subsequent attempts to load the proper modules. Both fail during initilization due to the conflicts for resources. Both resources are on board mobo components. Both have onboard ancillary ata/raid controllers. Differences stem for the specific hardware. My case is was multiple usb controllers/"ports" (read i/o again). Yours is a onboard sound chip. If I get this tracked down I will submit a bug report. As of now I don't have enough concise information to give a enough detailed information in order for the devs to reproduce, or reproduce in a meaningful manner. The best scenario, regarding getting comprehensive insight into this, is to gather more reports. I suspect that if this does indeed occur a pattern will develop and then it will be much better to nail this down. If you have any other problems, insights, or solution please post agian to the list. The more info the better. Cheers, Curtis.
