Description bellamorte42 2016-02-02 02:05:32 UTC 
I decided to post this bug here because AFAIK there haven't any real changes to snd-virtuoso and this bug only occurs with IOMMU enabled.  This issue occurs during normal operation (not running a VM).  Attempting to use the xonar essence results in about 2000 lines of dmesg repeating the following:

[   38.646702] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=07:00.0 domain=0x0000 address=0x0000000000100000 flags=0x0050]

This also causes any video playback to freeze.  I get about 2 frames before that happens.

This issue was not present under 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3.  I think it was 4.4rc3 I tested when I fist saw it but I did not test the earlier rcs.

Drivers/Sound or Drivers/PCI are probably much more appropriate categories for this.
Comment 2 Clemens Ladisch 2016-04-02 10:44:18 UTC 
How did you resolve this?
Comment 3 bellamorte42 2016-04-05 00:34:13 UTC 
As posted above, "Drivers/Sound or Drivers/PCI are probably much more appropriate categories for this."

I choose resolved as obsolete and posted a new bug under ALSA, as there was not a 'Resolved as don't care, post this somewhere else' option.
