Not necessarily; what is your output for "cat /proc/interrupts"?

Make sure that the module is unloaded (run "modprobe -r snd-intel8x0" if
necessary), then load it again and activate the buggy_semaphore
workaround:

modprobe snd-intel8x0 buggy_semaphore=1

Does that eliminate "semaphore is not ready" messages?
