Im having issues where my screen brightness will randomly go down, sometimes it will go down to 30% sometimes it will go down to 5%.
Ive checked some similar questions here and I couldnt find an awnser, so hopefully somone can help me out.
Im not 100% sure whats going to be helpful here, so ive posted some logs and other stuff below, if anyone has any other suggestions of logs to post ill be happy to

May 24 17:19:39 chris pulseaudio[1210]: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write.
May 24 17:19:39 chris pulseaudio[1210]: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
May 24 17:19:39 chris pulseaudio[1210]: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.
