I do wish I'd start keeping a log...
I had a lot of this, and in my case it was due to a problem with the
HDMI sound output of the Radeon, which I never use, I'm on VGA with USB
sound.
I have a feeling this was my fix:
new file: /etc/modprobe.d/hdmi.conf
contents:
blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi
blacklist snd_hda_intel
install snd_hda_codec_hdmi /bin/false
Inevitably, I found this somewhere on the Net, and after having a lot of
trouble, this cured it, so I didn't experiment further. It may be that
there is a more elegant solution.
If the HDMI output is being used, try this anyway to see if it helps,
if so at least you know where the problem is and may be able to search
better.
