They're discussing similar issues upstream: Will any of the following help this issue too?
* edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and insert this line options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 Reboot and test. If this does not work, remove the line you added and instead add: options snd-hda-intel power_save_controller=0 Reboot and test again.
