Bug Description

Trying to find out whether 14.04 LTS with the latest kernel 3.19 is no longer susceptible to freezes when using HDMI Audio (this had been getting better compared to 3.13 under 3.16 already, which has been required to wake from PM Suspend anyway).

However, both DKMS jobs fail for required drivers:
