additionally i get this while playing something:
hda-intel: invalid position buffer, using LPIB read method instead
on boot i get also many hda_codec-errors. but i don't know where they
are listed, because dmesg is full with messages like this:
evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 4, Code: 4, Value: 31
evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 1, Code: 31, Value: 0
evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0
evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 4, Code: 4, Value: 28
evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 1, Code: 28, Value: 1
evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0
Please give me some advise!
