Description supagweg 2010-09-14 18:51:35 UTC
Hello,
I got a problem with kernel >= 2.6.34 (It was ok in 2.6.31) 
I get a lot of "spurious response" message at boot and each time I launch a sound application.
[code]
hda_intel.c:659: spurious response 0x10011b:0x0, last cmd=0x20c0000
[/code]

If I watch a 2 hour vidéo, it's only at the beginning that i got the message. 
The biggest problem is that it affects randomly the sound card (motherboard built in)

Usually I still have sound, but sometimes at boot I loose the sound ability and I need to reboot again and again.
[code]
 kernel: [    0.816400] Too many connections
hda_codec.c:1990: No slave found for Master Playback Volume

CPU : i686 Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Audio: VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC]
I'm in unstable version of gentoo-sources : 2.6.35-gentoo-r5

At boot with sound working :

Then I got this message, I'm sure to have no sound at all :-(

Comment 1 Rafael Gandolfi 2010-10-01 14:15:35 UTC
Here the workaround to have sound working everytime, just edit 
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
and add:
"options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig single_cmd=1"

Just a workaround (no bugfix)  as using single_cmd=1 signs a big problem but as the module fallback in single mode anyway...
Comment 2 discodestroyer 2011-06-30 08:00:05 UTC
There are at least 21 people at the ubuntu bug tracker[1] who are affected by this bug and it still is present in 2.6.39 under Debian.

Is there anyone working on this bug? Any progress at all?

Comment 3 mail 2012-05-25 23:08:20 UTC
I'm also receiving a "spurious response" message, though I haven't had trouble with my sound. It appears in tty1 when I boot, generally after the login prompt appears but before I stop typing. 

The message:

Comment 4 mail 2012-08-13 17:52:37 UTC
This problem is still occurring for me as of 3.4.7.

See my previous comment here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18512#c3
Comment 5 Takashi Iwai 2013-11-14 17:23:10 UTC
Does the problem still happen with the latest kernel (3.12)?

If so, please give alsa-info.sh output.  Run it with --no-upload option, and attach the output to the bugzilla (don't paste).

Note that there can be multiple reasons of this error although the end result looks similar.  The symptom implies only that the codec communication stalls, thus it can happen in different ways.

So, don't rush with annoying "me too" messages.  This bug is exclusively for ALC662 codec.
