Description Dmitry Tantsur 2023-08-23 07:12:02 UTC
After some time of normal usage, I get horrible distortion through internal speakers. Basically, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2227341 but for Fedora, and I only experience it on internal speakers, bluetooth works fine. Switching to bluetooth and back does not help. Only reboot solves this problem.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
No reliable process so far.

Comment 1 Dmitry Tantsur 2023-08-23 07:14:21 UTC
Forgot to mention: this time it happened after waking up the laptop, the previous time - while using a VM with Fedora inside (and playing sound there). This is Thinkdpad X1 (I think the 7th Gen, I may be wrong).

Comment 2 Dmitry Tantsur 2023-08-23 07:15:52 UTC
I can confirm workaround in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2227341#c1: switching the profile back and forth helps.

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2023-11-23 01:49:46 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 4 Niels De Graef 2023-11-30 13:49:15 UTC
Somebody commented in a RHEL bug that this is fixed for them in Fedora now (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-3030?focusedId=22988991&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-22988991)

So maybe this can be closed?

Comment 5 Aoife Moloney 2024-01-15 12:21:55 UTC
Fedora Linux 37 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-12-05.

Fedora Linux 37 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
