I can confirm this audio popping on two Asus PN50. One with Kernel 5.15.0-87 the other with 6.2.0-36. Rolling back to older kernel solved it on both machines.

BUG REPORT: New Kernel Makes Audio "POP". After upgrading to the New Kernel, whenever the audio is accessed, there is an annoying "popping sound", as if the channel is being turned on. This happens before any audio plays, sometimes after if the channel is shutting down. Audio output I am reporting is coming out of the 3.5mm TRRS speaker/mic jack to my headphones, etc. VERY ANNOYING, I rolled back to the previous kernel. I do have Pulse Audio installed, not sure if it might be an issue. Will report back if removal or reinstall fixes it. - Mic System: Kernel: 5.15.0-87-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.4.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 5.8.4 tk: GTK 3.24.33 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy Machine: Type: Laptop System: Acer product: Aspire E5-576G v: V1.47 serial: <superuser required> Mobo: KBL model: Ironman_SK v: V1.47 serial: <superuser required> UEFI-[Legacy]: Insyde v: 1.47 date: 09/06/2018 Battery: ID-1: BAT1 charge: 26.5 Wh (100.0%) condition: 26.5/62.2 Wh (42.7%) volts: 12.7 min: 11.1 model: PANASONIC AS16B5J serial: <filter> status: Full Device-1: hidpp_battery_0 model: Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 serial: <filter> charge: 55% (should be ignored) status: Discharging Device-2: hidpp_battery_1 model: Logitech Wireless Mouse M187 serial: <filter> charge: 50% (should be ignored) status: N/A CPU: Info: quad core model: Intel Core i5-8250U bits: 64 type: MT MCP arch: Coffee Lake rev: A cache: L1: 256 KiB L2: 1024 KiB L3: 6 MiB Speed (MHz): avg: 1471 high: 3156 min/max: 400/3400 cores: 1: 2498 2: 1973 3: 1000 4: 794 5: 796 6: 3156 7: 799 8: 758 bogomips: 28800 Flags: avx avx2 ht lm nx pae sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3 vmx Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 620 vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI driver: i915 v: kernel ports: active: DP-1 off: eDP-1 empty: HDMI-A-1 bus-ID: 00:02.0 chip-ID: 8086:5917 Device-2: NVIDIA GP108M [GeForce MX150] vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI driver: nvidia v: 535.113.01 pcie: speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 4 bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:1d10 Device-3: Quanta HD WebCam type: USB driver: uvcvideo bus-ID: 1-7:6 chip-ID: 0408:a030 Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.4 driver: X: loaded: modesetting,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,nouveau,vesa gpu: i915 display-ID: :0 screens: 1 Screen-1: 0 s-res: 1920x1080 s-dpi: 96 Monitor-1: DP-1 model: ViewSonic VX2757 res: 1920x1080 dpi: 82 diag: 686mm (27") OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 23.0.4-0ubuntu1~22.04.1 direct render: Yes Audio: Device-1: Intel Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus-ID: 00:1f.3 chip-ID: 8086:9d71 Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.15.0-87-generic running: yes Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 15.99.1 running: yes Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.48 running: yes Network: Device-1: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168NGW [Stone Peak] driver: iwlwifi v: kernel pcie: speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 1 bus-ID: 03:00.0 chip-ID: 8086:24fb IF: wlp3s0 state: down mac: <filter> Device-2: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI driver: r8169 v: kernel pcie: speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 1 port: 3000 bus-ID: 04:00.1 chip-ID: 10ec:8168 IF: enp4s0f1 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter> Drives: Local Storage: total: 1.36 TiB used: 143.29 GiB (10.3%) ID-1: /dev/sda model: SD Ultra 3D 1TB size: 931.51 GiB speed: 6.0 Gb/s serial: <filter> ID-2: /dev/sdb vendor: Crucial model: CT500MX500SSD4 size: 465.76 GiB speed: 6.0 Gb/s serial: <filter> Partition: ID-1: / size: 915.32 GiB used: 143.28 GiB (15.7%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda3 ID-2: /boot/efi size: 512 MiB used: 6.1 MiB (1.2%) fs: vfat dev: /dev/sda2 Swap: ID-1: swap-1 type: file size: 2 GiB used: 0 KiB (0.0%) priority: -2 file: /swapfile Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 48.0 C pch: 37.0 C mobo: N/A Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A Repos: Packages: 3240 apt: 3217 flatpak: 23 No active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/audio-recorder-ppa-jammy.list 1: deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/audio-recorder-ppa-jammy.gpg] https: //ppa.launchpadcontent.net/audio-recorder/ppa/ubuntu jammy main Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list 1: deb http: //packages.linuxmint.com victoria main upstream import backport 2: deb http: //archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main restricted universe multiverse 3: deb http: //archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates main restricted universe multiverse 4: deb http: //archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports main restricted universe multiverse 5: deb http: //security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-security main restricted universe multiverse Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-jammy.sources 1: deb [arch=amd64 i386] https: //dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu jammy main Info: Processes: 272 Uptime: 1h 25m Memory: 15.49 GiB used: 2.69 GiB (17.4%) Init: systemd v: 249 runlevel: 5 Compilers: gcc: 11.4.0 alt: 11/12 Client: Cinnamon v: 5.8.4 inxi: 3.3.13 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2042039/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
