Hello, it seems there are several problems (or a single problem affecting several drivers). Does a normal (i.e. non-rt) kernel work better? Best regards Uwe

my reply didnt seem to work before, sorry about the delay i didnt realise it hadnt appeared no, a normal kernel doesnt work any better. ive tried this on a couple of different machines, the ae-7 just hangs in all of them. other sound cards, including previous creative ones, work just fine.

Hello David, problematic hardware into different machines and the problems then appear on each of them, right? Do you have more than one physical card to rule out a hardware defect? Also there were problems e.g. in the ath12k driver. I assume these are gone, too, when the sound card isn't asembled in the machine? Could you try to provide a complete kernel log with the card? If you don't find a better way, record the boot process on video, maybe with boot_delay=100 to make the output a bit slower. Best regards Uwe
Greetings, Yes, test machines included a FX-9590 + 990FX, Threadripper 2990WX + X399, etc, the problem happens on any linux kernel, any distro, so I've learned this is not Debian specific now. I can still try to get a full log if that will help, but not for some days, but I believe I have this bug that had already been reported upstream, which I did not find at first: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217510 Regarding the ath12k driver - in the specific Zenith Extreme Alpha system I initially discovered this problem on, I replaced the stock Intel AC wireless with a Qualcomm BE wireless. It shows those errors, but it does work, so I have ignored them. Those errors remain with or without the sound card, and are unrelated. Debian works flawlessly when the card is not present. If more information will help, I'm happy to try to provide it, but if this is a matter for upstream, perhaps I simply need to wait?

Hello David, Not sure if waiting helps here. Your card has the PCI id 1102:0010, in commit https://git.kernel.org/linus/8a19bceef68d8e88c9790868eece76b928a32a16 Conner McAdams (on Cc) added a quirk for that ID, though that seems to be for a card with a different name. @Conner: Do you maybe have an idea what could be the culprit here? Find the full bug report thread at https://bugs.debian.org/1115581 or the above mentioned bugzilla. Thanks Uwe
Full disclosure; I used AI tools to do this. I've managed to make it work. I've put the method in GitHub. It is my hope that this can be used to make it easier for a proper developer to fix this. https://github.com/AffSeda/Creative_AE7_Linux
