I'm having problems with the i810_audio driver and the ICH3 chipset.
When playing audio, it skips VERY badly. After stopping the audio, I get
the message:
drain_dac, dma timeout?
The system is responsive during the skipping, so I doubt it's just high
load. I am using 2.4.20-pre3-ac4 right now, but it also occurs on 2.4.20
and 2.4.21-pre3.
The i810_audio driver in 2.5 works.
There are no other kernel messages about audio, just drain_dac, dma
timeout?
Any help with this would be appreciated. I will attempt to debug this
further later tonight.

I've also noticed similar problems. Sometimes when I reboot I end up
having no sound coming from the speakers at all and when I try to play
something then the player either hangs(mplayer) or starts to skip
seconds(mp3blaster) (0:00, 0:07, 0:21 ..etc)
Rebooting the computer sevelar times will eventually fix it. Reloading
the module doesn't seem to help, however.
2.4.{18;19;20} vanilla kernels all had that problem, now on 2.5.59 I
haven't noticed it (yet?).
