ah, thanks!

this is something what i've already seen on the kernel oss driver, but
didn't know that it actually affects to alsa driver.

perhaps the easy and general fix would be to prevent reading
AC97_EXTENDED_MID on this codec chip.

could you tell me which ac97 codec is detected on your machine?
please check /proc/asound/card0/ac97#0.


thanks,

Takashi
