Thomas, I play music all day long on the desktop on weekends, going out via SPDIF (optic fiber) to a receiver. I have not tried direct speakers or headphones. The only change to configuration I made was setting outputs.mode=digital in /etc/mixerctl.conf I play audio with mpd (local network files and internet streams), and sometimes audacious and vlc for local files, and web audio with chrome. Had couple strange lock-ups when streaming web-radio with mpd. In fact, one happened just now - internet radio stream via mpd/Ario started stattering and stopped as I was typing this email - restarting sndiod and mpd did not help, had to reboot. So, overall, little bit less reliable than my old pre-Ryzen desktop, but not too bad - does not happen very often, may be once a week. Not sure how to troubleshoot it. -- Andre
