Downgrading made audio function again; upgrades undone:

linux (4.12.13-1 -> 4.13.3-1)
linux-headers (4.12.13-1 -> 4.13.3-1)

((nvidia-utils (384.69-1 -> 384.90-1)
nvidia (384.69-2 -> 384.90-1))) due to downgrade of linux

Any hope that this gets fixed at some point? Can't update since 4.12.13

Why do you think it is a packaging and integration issue that should be fixed by the package maintainer rather than upstream?
If you think it is not a packaging and integration issue have you contacted upstream to request upstream fix the issue?

Thanks for the answer. I'm not too intricately knowledgeable as to discern whether or not it is an upstream issue or not. If you are, please let me know. Obviously you are insinuating that it in fact is an issue upstream. I will see to report it there again.

Yes I think it is either a bug in the kernel itself or in the systems audio configuration.
If you can get audio to work correctly with the linux-lts kernel then that would indicate the configuration is valid.
See http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Bug_Tracking http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Mailing-lists
Edit:
Missed it functions on a kernel downgrade then yes I think it is either a kernel bug or a change in the kernel module configuration.

Will do, thanks
Edit: Yeah, that's what I thought. Ok, will see to reach upstream.

You were right, it is an upstream issue: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196687. Will request closure. Thanks again

I do not think it is that upstream issue as the fix it references was present in 4.13

Oh, thanks for the heads up. Thought it was just not rolled out yet.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Is it still valid?
