[Bug 464442] Re: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_delay() returned a value that is exceptionally large: -4496252 bytes (-25488 ms).

 

Looks like it pretty old but also affects me.
Some details:
Lenovo G50-45 laptop.
3.13.0-46-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 2 18:23:39 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Sound delayed and some echo played when I changes sound volume. Only reboot helps to fix it but only for some time.
Usually sound breaks when I change volume level using Fn keys.

Let me know if you need additional details to investigate.

Thanks.
