Just a possibility - it can solve truncation, but I didn't think
it got that bad...

Try putting into /etc/modutils/local

options sound dmabuf=1

and running update-modules.
The buffer needs to be allocated to < 16MB so getting it modprobed
early ensures that. This problem might arise with a new mobo/more
memory.
