Comment 22 for bug 114363

couple things I forgot to mention

@Elias Humbolt
you mentioned your LTSP server has a via sound controller, is the server experiencing the flash-crashes as well as the clients connecting to it? And do the server and clients have the same audio devices.
I guess my question would be, what is the output of the command:
cat /proc/asound/cards
on the machine that is experiencing the crashes? I'm guessing it will be something like "snd-via82xx" but I just wanted to double check.

@Nick B.
As I mentioned in the previous post your crashing problem may be unrelated to sound but I read something in the 104470 report and thought I would mention it here. You mentioned you are using a standalone sound card, someone else who was using a standalone card reported that they were getting crashing problems because of their onboard sound, even though they weren't using it for sound output. Apparently just having the module for that sound hardware loaded was enough to cause the crashes and disabling their onboard sound stopped it.

Just for fun you may want to check and see what is being loaded via the command:
cat /proc/asound/cards
and if it happens to be loading drivers for the onboard sound it might be worth disabling it in the bios or elsewhere as a test.
