With an original Soundblaster Live! something like this is happening to me on Linux 5.11. My audio gets completely corrupted and sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:05:04.0/reset fixes it (replacing my pci device ofc), if I don't do that I must shutdown my PC and actually turn of my PSU for 10 seconds or I get corrupt audio, it has been working fine for over a year before this. I'm using Bionic if that matters, I might try re-slotting the soundcard itself and see if that helps

And the only solution I have found is completely turn off the power to the motherboard and wait a few minutes until powering back on. When the card works, I am able to reproduce the problem after typing: sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:05:04.0/reset Executing that command stops the card from outputting any sound, and I see the following printed in dmesg: [ 73.029029] snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0: 3153 callbacks suppressed [ 73.029033] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 73.029114] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 73.029122] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 73.040768] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 73.046208] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: interrupt: PCI error [ 73.046235] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=05:00.0 domain=0x0015 address=0x0 flags=0x0000] [ 73.046244] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=05:00.0 domain=0x0015 address=0x0 flags=0x0000] [ 73.046250] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=05:00.0 domain=0x0015 address=0x0 flags=0x0000] [ 73.046255] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=05:00.0 domain=0x0015 address=0x0 flags=0x0000] [ 73.046261] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=05:00.0 domain=0x0015 address=0x0 flags=0x0000] [ 73.046266] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=05:00.0 domain=0x0015 address=0x0 flags=0x0000] Further resets result in [ 497.663897] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 497.663971] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 497.663997] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 497.674025] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 497.684046] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 [ 497.694065] snd_emu10k1 0000:05:04.0: invalid position: , pos = 16759783, buffer size = 16384, period size = 16384 It seems this is a problem with the driver snd_emu10k1 (maybe invalid buffer size?). In the past, I have used this card in earlier Ubuntu's before without any issues. All I had to do was to build and install the latest alsa-firmware, alsa-lib, and alsa-utils from https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/Download. It's surprising that this card is not natively supported out of the box in 20.04, but even worse, the driver emu10k1 appears to be broken.
