Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.15 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

The frequency of this behaviour seems to go way up while playing video with a lot of motion, and especially YouTube videos. I can reliably reproduce the problem by playing the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt9UZo32KMk and maximising/minimising the video size rapidly. Testing older kernels, I can reproduce the problem on the linux- image-4.10.0-041000rc1-generic from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/, but the previous version, linux- image-4.9.71-040971-generic, plays audio without any problems. The problem didn't exist on 17.04; it only started happening after I upgraded to 17.10. (I know 17.04 had a 4.10 kernel; I'm at a loss to explain the difference unless the zesty kernel was patched.)
