Done. Now checking with hdmi sound card disabled. Would this be a potential workaround if it succeeds? I do not have built-in speakers on my monitor.

Description: At random intervals, pulseaudio gives the following error message: "snd_pcm_avail() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 125388 bytes (710 ms)," after which the system slows down to a crawl. It has occurred in two instances: while playing a video game, and while working in two different workspaces with a zoom client and Spotify open (though not actively playing any audio). The system is recoverable with the SysRq key. I have not been able to duplicate it on command, but it is recurrent.
