Comment 2 for bug 117254

Quentin,
Unfortunately this is one of those really unpleasant issues that occurred after leaving the game running for some time, and I have not been able to reproduce it - which may make it extremely difficult to fix (I have been here before with stuff I maintain).

Here however is the output of LSPCI:

The sound card is an on board one which is part of an nForce chipset. The board is the Gigabyte GA-k8ns (not the PRO or SA model).

I hope this helps, and if I get an opportunity, I will leave starfighter running at some point before I go to work in the week.
