Are you refering to the Intel HD audio chipsets issue?  I don't think
so, because I haven't had any problems with audio in quite a while.
Moreover I think my hardware was not one of the affected ones:

  product: 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio
  vendor: Intel Corporation

As I mentioned in my earlier posts; it seemed like a file system issue,
but then I'm no expert.  Would interesting to know what was causing the
problem though.  Maybe I'll reboot to the older kernel when I have some
time and see if I can replicate it.
