I receive the following message

snd_hda_intel 0000:06:00.0: Too many BDL entries: buffer=1572864, period=49152

Is there another driver or firmware that I don't know about?

Re: Sound Blaster Audigy Fx

Sound blasters are very finicky to impossible to get working properly. There was some huge effort by a dev a few years ago but haven't really seen any updates from him, last I know all his work has been upstreamed and should be the current state you're getting.

What sound server are you using? on Wireplumber you might be able to to play around with alsa headrooms: https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/ … properties for example.

Other than that this is a kernel message, did this appear recently? Due to linux-firmware update potentially? Did you test the LTS kernel?

Re: Sound Blaster Audigy Fx

Soundserver is wireplumber.
I have not yet tested lts-kernel...
