Comment 30 for bug 479296

I'm currently working through a myriad of suspicious events in my syslog to try and troubleshoot major system freezes etc. I am also suffering from these outputs and was wondering if they could cause server banning from VOIP services such as Ventrilo? Is something spamming the audio server and transmitting it over the VOIP connection? I'm also getting the sound stuttering at regular intervals.

This is a side issue that arises just before my system malfunctions with graphics problems, which a restart doesn't solve due to failure to detect power connectors to my graphics cards, but i can do nothing and once in a safe low graphics ubuntu environment (2.6.31.15, nvidia-glx-185-latest) i can restart again and be back to my normal high graphics power connector enabled 7800 GT SLI loveliness.

So, you know... wtf? I am willing to provide more information if this is tantalizing.

Everything gets worse over time, which doesn't make sense. This is a fresh install from two days ago and the first day was fine from a user point of view (haven't checked old logs) but now things are getting worse. It took 5 hours to crash catastrophically yesterday and today it takes as little as maybe 15 minutes to get to major system load, sound stuttering etc. Strangely i'm still on the same system without a reboot and everything is working fine.

What is the link between the graphics and the sound issue? Why does it screw with X? It may also be screwing up the resume image and manual resume from disk fails.

Also, is anyone having problems with IRQ/wireless RT-chipset/audio configuration in their syslogs? Just wondering if it is relevant.
