128M OK but with 192M or more sound problem

Ok.
I've written another mail about this problem and just continuing the
relat, with memory changes.

Resuming: when i put more than 128M in my machine with the kernel
2.4.0-test10 or above, the ES1371 sound card generate a noisy sound while
playing a sound using the DSP of the card. The music play ok, but with a
tick, tick, tick sound with the music. To see the problem completely
search by the "PROBLEM: 128M ok but with 192 sound problem."

I've exchanged the memory modules with another of the my friend machine.
He have a 128M and a 64M too.

I've tested two 64M modules and works fine.
128M plus 128M . problem.

then, i think that the problem is with the real quantity of memory in the
machine and don't with the memory modules.

ahh,
and the machine works perfectly with the 2.2.18 production kernel.

Thank you
