Hello!
After updating to the 5.18 kernel (5.18.15) sound won't play nicely anymore.
No matter which sound source I use (browser with youtube, vlc, elisa, mpv, deadbeef... also KDE audio settings test):
Strangely sound repeats itself for about 2 to 3 seconds after the sound playing application stopped. Also crackles and stutters - I use a built-in Intel audio in the intel 5690 processor. It's labeled as "HDA Intel PCH".
I use KDE but also tested on Gnome and also in a clean new user environment.
In my sound.conf file it says
options snd-hda-intel vid=8086 pid=8ca0 snoop=0I used this sound output without any hickups with pulseaudio for quite a while.
First I thought about the wireplumber transition causing problems so I reinstalled the pipewire-media-session again (with pipewire pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa) and removed the wireplumber files.
But with or without wireplumber the same audio problems persist.
I searched for solutions but do not find any.
if I do a speaker test in a console
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav the sound seems to be okay - I haven't had any of the weird echoes here.
If I switch to the LTS kernel I do not have any problems with the same configuration and setup.
Any ideas how to solve this?
thx, p.

After downgrading to kernel 5.17.9 sound works again - so I am pretty sure there is a regression in the kernel...
I change the post title.

Can you post output of command "lspci -nnk" ? Audio device section is interesting for me, because I also use snd_hda_intel module for "Realtek ALC 882 codec" and I have 5.18.14-arch1-1 kernel, use pulseaudio and no problem with sound. Maybe there is something wrong with 5.18.15 version?
You can try 5.18.14-arch1-1 kernel from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Linux_Archive.
