Weird indeed. Actually I had already reported this
behaviour, see

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/59809

So far I have not been able to get the interrupts at
IRQ22. They still occur at IRQ20. However the problem
is hidden when using boot options irqpoll or noapic.

This is not a hardware or bios problem, as the sound
is correct on Windows.

Initially I was using kernel 2.6.27 and alsa-driver 1.0.19,
currently using kernel 2.6.29 and alsa-driver 1.0.20 with
the same behaviour.

I have tried numerous modprobe options. Currently
I am using :

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options sound slots=snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 enable_msi=1 bdl_pos_adj=32 
probe_mask=0x1ff

As Gustavo seems to have succeeded, can he post
kernel and alsa-driver versions, boot parameters
and modprobe parameters ?

Thanks in advance
