Description:
When playing music the audio gets stuck while repeating the last few seconds in a loop. Sometimes it recovers after some time. I appended a log from journalctl after a recovery. Also the desktop freezes when the loop is playing. I'm using gnome-shell on wayland

It seems to be problem with the snd_hda_intel driver.

Additional info:
pulseaudio 11.1-1
alsa-lib 1.1.5-1
alsa-plugins 1.1.5-1
lib32-alsa-lib 1.1.5-1
lib32-alsa-plugins 1.1.5-1
pulseaudio-alsa 2-3

If more information is needed please tell me.

Looks like a duplicate of  FS#49966  which however is closed ???

I'm experiencing this regularly at least once a week, I've had it happen both with and without music playing.
This is a hard lock-up, USB devices stop responding, I can't even hit SysRq, have to hard-shutdown the box.

Would have lost important work weren't it for my reflex to hit Ctrl+S after every small edit.

In the log they state that this could be a driver problem (snd_hda_intel) and that I should report to the devs. I am not sure where to report it.

You might want to test without the nvidia closed source driver installed as that is not supported by upstream.

I'm using the radeon driver.

@fearnor12 apologies I conflated your posts with MightyPork's it would be an issue for MightyPork but the radeon driver is fine.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Is it still valid?
Comment by Ondřej Hruška (MightyPork) - Sunday, 27 February 2022, 22:34 GMT
I think so, it's not something you can "reproduce" though, it just happens with daily use from time to time.

I switched to AMD now so I think I'm no longer affected.
