I am sorry if this is old news but I have not seen any mention of it in the list.

I keep getting "kernel: Sound error: Couldn't allocate DMA buffer" in my syslog. However sound was working until this morning. The machine uptime is below :)

The PC is a IBM PS/2 486DX2, with an AWE32 with 256k. The PC is fitted with 16mb of ram. I have never reported a problem before so excuse if it is a bit strange.

Since this posting, in fact in the last 2 minutes, sound has reappeared. I haven't rebooted, changed anything and all the same processes are still running.
