Well, when posting reference to bugs with the sound driver we got start by : 1. OS version 2. Sound Driver version 3. Sound Card 4. relevant sound configuration from the kernel config file 5. cat /dev/sndstat 6. Be a bit more descriptive about bug desription and if possible provide code snippet which can reproduce the bug.
