[0x102801f6]: Totem movie player crashes when adjusting volume

This is almost certainly a hardware/firmware bug. Please try the following workaround (of appending the text to the options snd-hda-intel line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf):

enable_msi=0

If that is insufficient, please use:

enable_msi=0 position_fix=1

hi Daniel,

I tried both suggestions.
There was no line 'options snd-hda-intel' in
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf at all, so I added it at the end.

'enable_msi=0' gave me an instant crash as described, no fun there.

Replaced it with 'enable_msi=0 position_fix=1' and rebooted (testing
some other things as well and want to be sure anyway)
So far I can drag the volume slider around and nothing crashes. Looking
good.

Attaching my modified /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
I will report back in a couple of days to confirm either way; good or bad.

thanx
Tom

Tom, thanks for testing. Will you please try one final permutation, which is to use only "position_fix=1" ?

hi again Daniel

Tried that too, and dragging the volume slider still works fine without
hanging the player.
Seems fixed to me. Thanx.
Anything else I should try out?

Attaching my current version of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

cheers
Tom

Very nice to see the actual workings of bug reporting, testing and
commitment of a fix.
Thank you!

cheers
