We should also test some of the 3.8 release candidates to know which
exact one introduced the regression.  Once we know that, we can start
the bisect.

Can you test the following kernels and post back? We are looking for the
first kernel version that exhibits this bug:

v3.8-rc4: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc4-raring/

If v3.8-rc4 does not exhibit the bug then test v3.8-rc6:
v3.8-rc6:  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc6-raring/

If v3.8-rc4 does exhibit the bug then test v3.8-rc2:
v3.8-rc2:  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc2-raring/


Thanks in advance!

Title:
  [INTEL DP55WG,Realtek ALC889] - Audio Playback Unavailable

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Status in alsa-driver source package in Vivid:

Bug description:
  This is a fresh upgrade to raring. During the weekend, I updated from
  precise to quantal, and from there to raring. I did not use sound
  while the system was in quantal, so no idea if the bug was present
  there as well.

  The symptom is:

  * after some period of sound usage, playback stops working

  What I mean with sound usage is:

  I tried having a meeting with: mumble, skype, and google hangout, and
  in all three cases, audio input/outout will work just fine for ~5
  minutes, and the playback just dies (people tell me they keep
  listening to me, so mic works fine).

  The only way to solve this is by rebooting. After one of the reboots,
  I was able to play a 20 minute video with mplayer with no further
  issue. Then opened skype and after ~3-5 minute talk, audio playback
  died again.
