[Bug 814426] Re: 1412:1712 Crackling Sound on PCI card
Okay so I think I mostly have a handle on the issue.
The hardware problem is caused by the cpu running the sound card driver
entering the c6 idle state. Anecdotally the card does not appear to be
able to handle the latency involved in waking from that state.
Currently, both intel_idle and acpi_idle cpuidle drivers handle this
poorly wrt to this particular card/motherboard combo.
intel_idle: chronologically the first “break” occurred at commit
2671717265ae6e720a9ba5f13fbec3a718983b65 which switched the default
cpuidle driver for intel machines from acpi_idle to intel_idle.
According to https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/22/511 it seems the correct
solution here is register idle constraints explicitly via PM_QOS in the
linux device driver, my guess is in snd_ice1712.
acpi_idle: the situation here is much less clear to me. The break here
occurred at 718be4aaf3613cf7c2d097f925abc3d3553c0605 fixing bug 15886.
That bug seems highly related since I have the same motherboard. I
suspect the fault here lies in the bios, although since intel_idle was
made the default before this commit, any bug introduced here would
likely go unnoticed.
I have various turbostat logs but will save those for the specific bugs
I file.
Also, the current “best workaround” is intel_idle.max_cstate=3. The
reason nohz=off works is that it disables all cstates, but as long as we
limit to c3 there is no apparent problem.

Title:
1412:1712 Crackling Sound on PCI card
Status in The Linux Kernel:
New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
On my CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme 1030 desktop running up-to-date Natty
Narwhal 64bit on fresh install, there is a variable crackling
overlaying the sound on my card when any sound is playing. It is
invariable to the output, as looping the same clip does not cause
crackling to loop. The output of sudo aplay -l is:
card 0: M1010LT [M Audio Delta 1010LT], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Any idea's on what this is? Occurs with pulseaudio on or off (even
with speaker-test), and only on my Delta 1010LT sound card. Jaunty
livecd plays audio without crackles, while Natty livecd produces
crackles.
WORKAROUND: nohz=off
