Description Flags
Lenovo P1 gen 3, performace power mode, kernel 6.4.9 none

Description Jaroslav Kysela 2023-08-17 13:26:24 UTC
Tracking bug: The output sound may be garbled, "robotic" in some cases.

The issue may occur randomly for some users. I can reproduce "robotic" sound on P1 gen 4 with the low-power mode settings and suspend/resume everytime.

Affected hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad P1 gen 3, P1 gen 4, T14s gen 1, T14s gen 2

Reproducible: Always

The upstream fix 90219f1bd273055f1dc1d7bdc0965755b992c045 will be in the vanilla 6.5 kernel, too. No special handling for Fedora kernels is required.

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2023-08-21 20:59:42 UTC
There are quite a few people complaining about garbled audio on Fedora channels, e.g. here:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/garbled-audio/87470

I asked them to test the patched kernel and provide feedback.

Comment 5 Jaroslav Kysela 2023-08-22 10:52:33 UTC
The https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2645 was merged. We should have this fix in the 6.4.12 Fedora kernel.

I wasn't able to reproduce the audio problem with this. On the other hand, on regular kernels, it happens completely randomly for me, so I don't have a reliable reproducer.
