`snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Too many BDL entries` messages in system log

cn flag

After today's update of linux-*-5.19.0-35-generic:amd64 I see many entries in syslog like these:

Mar  2 12:04:57 xxx kernel: [ 4646.030116] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Too many BDL entries: buffer=2097152, period=65536
Mar  2 12:04:57 xxx kernel: [ 4646.031191] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Too many BDL entries: buffer=1048576, period=32768

Mar  2 12:04:57 xxx kernel: [ 4646.033556] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Too many BDL entries: buffer=1048576, period=32768
Mar  2 12:04:57 xxx kernel: [ 4646.035347] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Too many BDL entries: buffer=4194304, period=131072

Previous versions of kernels did not produce such error messages: I searched past system logs of more than one year old.

Some information about my Ubuntu 22.10 GNOME (Xorg) notebook computer:

$ uname -rv
5.19.0-35-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Feb 3 18:36:56 UTC 2023

It seems that these messages occur during system boot and during log in (around a hundred messages each time).

Any ideas of the meaning of these messages?

Note: Currently, I do not have any problems with audio.


Update (2023-04-26)

After update to kernel 6.2 (Ubuntu 23.04) these entries ceased to appear.

I have exactly the same problem with my MSI GL73 8SD running Ubuntu 22.10. Like you it started after this kernel update.

Hi! Were you able to find a solution? I have a similar problem and now the audio on my HDMI/Display port is not working. I opened this question about it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1457893/my-hdmi-display-port-audio-stopped-working-on-ubuntu-22-10

The same problem with kernel `5.19.0-38-generic` too! :(

Sorry for you. 5.19.0-38 solved the issue for me. Maybe your hardware is slightly different from mine and you should upload some data about it in the launchpad bug report?

Well I have got issues with my sound card Creative Sound Blaster Z with the new kernel 5.19.0-35.

There was no sound and it said 'dummy audio' in settings. I tried some tricks from the internet but nothing helped, so I had to revert back to kernel 5.19.0.32 and everything works ok

Thanks for that, I had a similar problem and the audio on my HDMI/DISPLAY port was not working, rolling back the kernel solved my problem.

This solved my issue

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Faced same issue with new kernel 5.19.0-35. It appears there are some issue with NVidia drives. Above step worked for me.

This did absolutely nothing in my case. I even purged all nvidia packages

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
