I guess  the EMU stuff from dmesg doesn't look great:

emu1010: Special config.
emu1010: EMU_HANA_ID=0x7f
firmware: emu/hana.fw not found. Err=-2
emu1010: Loading Hana Firmware file emu/hana.fw failed
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:0a.0 disabled
EMU10K1_Audigy: probe of 0000:02:0a.0 failed with error -2
