Description Johann Hackl 2018-05-10 17:13:07 UTC

I own a Ryzen based computer with an MSI B350 PC-MATE mainboard, which has 2 legacy PCI slots. I installed an Audigy 2 sound card in one of the slots. The problem is that some issue with the IOMMU prevents the card from functioning properly. During playback, audible high-pitched blips can be heard, aswell as crackling. After a while, audio cuts out completely until a full reboot. Additionally, the output of 'dmesg' is flooded with the following errors.

To get around this issue, I had to set "iommu=off" as a kernel start parameter. I observed this behaviour on two different systems. B350 doesn't have native PCI, so the slots are connected via PCIe to PCI bridges by either Asmedia or ITE. The same behaviour can also be replicated with different variations of the Audigy 2 card, such as the Audigy 2 ZS. The issue exists on possibly all distributions, I tried Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Arch Linux so far. 'lspci' outputs the following.
