Multiple users report the PCMCIA Audigy 2 adapter hangs the machine in
2.6.21 while it work OK in 2.6.20:

Which version of ALSA is this using?

cat /proc/asound/version
Has it correctly identified the sound card?
cat /proc/asound/cards

I don't think that anything has changed in the driver between 2.6.20 and
2.6.21 that would affect this. That PCMCIA card can rather easily hang
the machine due to it's design, but removing the PCMCIA card during the
hang should release the hang state and the PC should continue. There was
one case where it would continue to hang, but I believe I fixed that.

Please tell me the output of the above two cat commands, and I will then
have a better idea of what the problem is.

Kind Regards

James

ALSA version 1.0.14rc3 (Wed Mar 14 07:25:50 2007 UTC)

The cards can't even be identified, so there is no /proc/asound/cards

In the hope that it helps, the initialization of the Audigy 2 ZS
Notebook still succeeds on my laptop, but it does seem noisier then
usual lately (this writing to ADC failed message):

This is a ThinkPad X41.

Also, I would like to say that although this card works on an x86
laptop, it has severe difficulties in a PowerBook. In that machine it
can not be hotplugged, and needs to be inserted before powerup, and
removal with the power on results in a kernel oops.

Before I forget, this is on vanilla:
Linux deep-blue 2.6.22-rc5 #1 Sun Jun 17 23:23:55 BST 2007 i686 Intel(R)
Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

If I can help by giving you more information, let me know.

Regards,
Tony V.
