Several issues with laptop "HP 250 15.6 inch G9 Notebook PC"

Hello,

I've got a laptop with several issues:

1. Sometimes kernel thread endless loop on one or two CPU cores.
2. Audio via headphones doesn't work. When plugged-in, sound is still coming over the speakers of the laptop.
3. Sometimes, audio doesn't work at all from boot until reboot.
4. [SOLVED] When watching a video using MPV or VLC, the video stutters between the current frame and its successor frame back and forth while audio works. That "current frame" is updated only when resizing the window of the media player.

However, when watching a video using Firefox, video works fine.

General information:
- The laptop is an HP 250 15.6 inch G9 Notebook PC.
- The CPU is a 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1235U.
- 16 GiB RAM.
- MATE is the used DE.
- Xorg, no Wayland.

What I've tried:
- mpv -v ... # no hints
- When booting the laptop using a Manjaro live USB stick, video using VLC works fine (and probably using MPV, too).

What can I do in order to solve the issues?

Thank you!

In general omnibus threads will dillute the problem space.

I suggest you create distinct topics for each of these issues and post problem specific details of it.

Since the latter parts of the post refer to video issues, I'll focus on that in this response. Make sure you don't have xf86-video-intel installed, it's known for issues here and it's basically unmaintained for GPUs that are newer than 2012...

Maybe also throw in, embedded into [ code ] [ /code] tags without the spaces:

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
glxinfo -B

and post your xorg log: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Okay, I'll split this thread up.

The video issue (number 4) has been solved after deinstalling xf86-video-intel. Thank you for your advice!
