@kernellogger in the abstract I understand all that. But when it works fine for some versions but breaks one release and works the next over and over it feels less like some hardware issue and more like some code churn.
The first time it broke was when they added the "silent stream" to avoid the latency when sound plays. Then a subsequent version started working again. Then subsequent versions randomly worked or didn't as they kept tweaking this code.
How would you suggest reporting this?

@stark "like some code churn": well, yes, sure that's what I said I think (see the "some change broke things" above). Reporting: see https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/reporting-issues.html and https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.html for details. In short: test if mainline (best to wait 7.1-rc1 at this point) is still affected (the second guide will make your do that) and if it is bisect the problem. And then report to the author of that change.
