Issue seems to disappear when pulseaudio default sample rate is set to 48000 instead of 44100.
Speaker test with sample rate of 44100 produces no sound. Don't know why as device is supposed to accept both sample rates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730063 Title: [USB-Audio - Audioengine HD3, playback] fails after a while Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The speakers are connected to USB. "Digital Output (S/PDIF) - Audioengine HD3" appears in Sound settings. At first try, testing speakers (in sound settings) produced sound, but there was no sound in other applications (like Chromium or Rhythmbox). I had to add "install snd_hda_intel /bin/false" to /etc/modprobe.d /alsa-base.conf to get sound to work in other applications (presumably s/pdif was not directed to default sound card). But then, after a few minutes there is no sound any more (even speaker testing in settings does not produce any sound any more). Turning off the speakers and then back on doesn't help. Nor does disconnecting and reconnecting usb cord. So far, only rebooting restores sound for a while.
