For the past few days I've been encountering this bug where during media playback audio will stop, a few seconds later the video will stop and allow the audio section to catch up. Also during voice calls and video games audio will occasionally stop.
Initially I was using pipewire and jounalctl wasn't reporting any issues, eventually I switched to pulseaudio. The switch didn't fix anything, however journalctl has been reporting the following message:
Jun 13 17:18:25 melchior pulseaudio[1347]: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write.
Jun 13 17:18:25 melchior pulseaudio[1347]: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
Jun 13 17:18:25 melchior pulseaudio[1347]: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.
So I resolved to raise the issue here.
Here is the rest of the relevant journalctl output
journalctl | grep ALSA

Dup of #90. Those debug messages from PA are not usable to determine the real culpriot. It seems that your USB device probably disconnects (check 'dmesg').
For the past few days I've been encountering this bug where during media playback audio will stop, a few seconds later the video will stop and allow the audio section to catch up. Also during voice calls and video games audio will occasionally stop. Initially I was using pipewire and jounalctl wasn't reporting any issues, eventually I switched to pulseaudio. The switch didn't fix anything, however journalctl has been reporting the following message:
So I resolved to raise the issue here.
Here is the rest of the relevant journalctl output
