Odd. You don't say what kernel version(s) you're using or
how you set up your audio workstation (e.g. planet CCRMA 
or Agnula or did everything "from scratch" or what)...
This certainly sounds like hardware that is either bad or
something is misconfigured.
Have you been through EVERYTHING in the usual checklists?
