I got the below message in my dmesg. I've attached my config. All I was doing at the time was exiting alsamixer. I've tried to reproduce it with alsamixer, but it wasn't reproducable. I hope this information can be of some use. I don't think the below problem is related to my hardware configuration. I will provide any additional information upon request.
