I'm seeing the same thing, and have been for a while, with my sound
card as well -- however, it gives the time out error every time an app
tries to use the wave output functions, and all I hear are quiet clicks.
For contrast, my sound card is a Gateway OEM version of an Aztech
Sound Galaxy card of some variety; in earlier kernels, the Microsoft
Sound System driver worked fine. Sound seems to have broken relatively
recently -- I haven't been able to get it to work since 2.1.89 or so,
even by changing the (previously working) settings to just about
everything I can think of.
Trying to boot the 2.1.98-vger hangs while probing my SCSI bus, and
importing the drivers/sound directory to plain 2.1.98 doesn't help.
