hi all !
My uptime in Linux doesn't really go over 2 days... why ?
Because there is some very deep driver issue with my audio hardware, VIA 8237 audio. That is when working, my sound system suddenly fails, and starts to produce noise. - the problem is so deep that even "init 6" - full restart doesn't helps ! !
I still hear that noise even in GRUB Bootloader, where should be no sound at all ! ! !
That is very old bug, affecting SUSE Linux 10.0 and maybe earlier... link: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263022
Platform: openSUSE 10.2, 32-bit, AMD Sempron, VIA KM400 chipset, VIA 8237 audio, 1GB of RAM.
Things that help: -Reboot into Windows, (windows drivers seem to restart my audio hardware) -System shutdown via init 0, and then cold-start
any ideas?
I have the same audio chipset, no problems here. $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8377 [KT400/KT600 AGP] Host Bridge (rev 80) [..] 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) Maybe disable and buy another (cheap) soundcard? Sounds like a h/w problem to me. Theo -- Theo v.
