intrepid halt loop on alsa

[humufr]

When I want to halt interpid (installed on an external usb drive) it never stop but is stalled on alsa daemon. If I'm doing a ctrl-alt-del it continue the process to stop but come back to alsa and stop again. I have to do a hard stop.

Same for me, updated 8.04 to 8.10 and OS won't shut down or restart, always hangs on ALSA. Otherwise all sound works normal.

I have an Acer Aspire 5670 Laptop, the sound card is something from Intel, Device Manager sees it as ALC883.

I have same problem with two machines, my desktop pc and my laptop.
The desktop Pc configuration is:
Motherboard: Asus Mpv-mx
CPU: Athlon64X2, 3800+
Memory: 2x1 GB
Chipset: Nvidia Geforce 6100
Soundcard: Creative Audigy Ls
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 6100 (integrated with mainboard)

My laptop type is Toshiba Satelite l300.
I try tested this problem another machine (my friend desktop pc), the problem is present.

Same with me.(both on my Dell Optiplex 745 and on my Albacomp laptop with a Clevo motherboard. And this notebook has never had any problems with any earlier distros of Ubuntu!) I experienced this shutdown failiure only since the last phase(s) of Interpid. The beta versions (or even the alpha 5-6) of 8.10 worked fine. All the more annoying that it's the final version of the latest distribution
that wont work!
(On a Lenovo 3000 N200 notebook however it works all right.)
Any help would be appriciated.

the computer.
Please, help! thank you in advance.
