Sound stops working randomly until application restart

Support Sound

@Fabby As mentioned before: SoundBlaster AE series is supported since Kernel 5.10. 5.4 will not work.

@urgentus Congrats to get it working :slightly_smiling_face:
The 2.0 Channel thing should be fairly easy: you have to set the correct profile via pacmd.
First find your card with pacmd list. Then set the desired Profile. For example:
pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_0f_00.4 output:analog-surround-51'

I’m wondering if you will have the same problem as me. Now that it’s working, let’s try to break it :joy:
Can you try to listen to spotify or any other fairly high bitrate audio for around an hour (youtube will not trigger the problem I have) and tell me, if the audio stops working?

b550 and x570 are quiet similar. So there is a good chance that there will be similar difficulties with soundcards (if the chipset is the culprit).

I hope. I also have an asus rog crosshair hero VI (x370), but I’m too lazy to rebuild the PC

Diagram 5.1 works, but the left channel is weaker than the right. I aligned with qasmixer, but it’s a crutch.

Thanks for help & advice.
