I wish I had the time to delve into exactly what's happening. All I
can tell you is your patch broke audio and this one fixes it again. If
you have time for a deep dive and produce a permanent solution I'd be
much obliged and will of course test anything you send me. In the mean
time, this patch should definitely be applied, as sound is crippled
without it.
