[TEN <1203520@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Never had anything but the 12.04 LTS on this machine.

Will try again once Kernel 3.10.0-2.10 or higher with the mei_me fix is
in http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/saucy-
desktop-i386.manifest (3.10.0-5.14 seems to be an even newer one to me,
but Monday's Ubuntu 13.10 build had symptoms like
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1196155).

If there is a way I can run an extended trace on snd_hda_codec_hdmi
while making it crash, please let me know. When it freezes, it does so
too hard and fast to even sync file systems though, hence logs are
likely to be empty unless they immediately go to another machine over
netcat or similar.

Title:
  10de:1040 snd_hda_codec_hdmi (via pavucontrol or applications playing
  sound) freezes Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin freezes most of the time when trying
  to use HDMI audio (in particular from google-talkplugin, mplayer, vdr-
  sxfe, vlc, xine) up to and including the current Kernel 3.2.0-49
  without putting snd_hda_codec_hdmi on the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-
  oss.conf (thereby losing sound over the Nvidia outputs).

  Invoking pavucontrol with  snd_hda_codec_hdmi loaded almost always
  results in a crash that makes even Ctrl-Alt-SysRq inaccessible.

  Freezes also occurred with both hw and plughw devices of the Nvidia
  HDMIs under ALSA when pulseaudio had been uninstalled for testing.

  According to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1173769 #3 there
  is "a kernel issue which most likely is to happen with Nvidia
  graphics", this is also not fixed by using https://code.launchpad.net
  /~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+files/oem-audio-hda-daily-
  dkms_0.201307180553%7Eprecise1_all.deb according to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1169984 #16.

  New bug as identified by David Henningsson (diwic) to have different
  causes than https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-
  tests/+bug/1169984 at #119 et seq.

  Blacklisting is the supposed fix in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1181616 and http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2012/05/msg00110.html but not the solution if HDMI audio is needed.
