working the bugs out of a Sony GRX650 - interrupts and the sound card

[Stuart Quimby]

Hi all,

I'm running  4.9-RELEASE on my lapper and have been trying for over a year to 
get the sound card running properly.  I'm probably 'medium' level in my OS 
skills, so there may be something basic that I'm missing.

Dmesg reports the following on the card:
pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (82801CA)> port 0x18c0-0x18ff,0x1c00-0x1cff irq 9 at device 
31.5 on pci0
pcm0: <Yamaha YMF753 AC97 Codec>

I have the same behavior I've heard others mention on this list: the sound 
works fine as long as I wiggle the mouse - presumably this is generating 
enough interrupts to keep the sound steady.

I've tried both Intel ICH and the generic snd_driver and get identical (bad) 
results.

Anyone have this model and get it running properly?

Thanks.
