Comment 20 for bug 410984

I also have an HP HDX 9300 and experience the same issue. Any ideas related to troubleshooting this would be helpful. I did not see the issue on 8.04, 8.10 or 9.04. Due to ALSA incompatibilities with the HD TV tuner upgrading beyond ALSA 1.0.21 isn't an option, which also restricts kernel upgrades beyond 2.6.31-20 because of interface changes in the kernel sound module. Thus, trying 10.04 isn't a practical solution.

I have found that increasing the wait time at boot to approximately 30 seconds from 10 and letting it sit while devices settle sometimes helps.
