Audio only works for a few seconds and then stops working

Hello!

I've installed arch on my Laptop (Asus Zenbook UX433) 2 months ago, and everything worked fine until today.
After booting my PC, I tried to play something on spotify. It played for 2/3 seconds, and then the sound dies in a weird way, like it is "losing power".

It also happens when playing media in Brave.

When I go to pavucontrol and switch the audio profile to off, and then to Analog Stereo Output, I get the same: sound comes out of my speakers for 2/3 seconds, and then stops.

Can anyone please help me with this? I don't know what kind of extra information I should provide, but tell me what you need and I'll give it to you .

Thank you very much!

Did this issue started after an update? If so, which packages were updated?

Hi Docbroke!

Nope, I didn't update anything before the issue.
This had already happened some years ago on a manjaro installation, in this same laptop.

Could this be an issue related with hardware/kernel? I checked the arch wiki page for my laptop, and there were no notes regarding audio.

Thank you!
