Hello, I don't think this is likely to help your issue, but if you haven't already, you should try booting linux with the option iommu=soft That was necessary for an issue I had with another card that uses the snd-emu10k1 driver. Sorry if it doesn't help. PM On 14/11/2020 14:01, Micha wro

Hello, If it turns out to be impossible to get the onboard sound on your motherboard working properly in linux, would it be an acceptable solution to you to install and use an add-in sound card? Just wondering. - Patrick On 20/02/20 21:48, D. R. Evans wrote: Clemens Ladisch via Alsa-user w
