alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #90 was opened from Mysgym: Hello, after spending some time troubleshooting an issue with an audio interface (using snd_hda_intel). I've stumbled upon this message from PulseAudio in the journal : `Oct 17 18:30:58 LaptopName pulseaudio[1782]: E: [alsa-sink-ALC256 Analog] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write. Oct 17 18:30:58 LaptopName pulseaudio[1782]: E: [alsa-sink-ALC256 Analog] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Oct 17 18:30:58 LaptopName pulseaudio[1782]: E: [alsa-sink-ALC256 Analog] alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. ` So I filed a bug report This is Manjaro on Kernel 5.8 Issue URL : https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues/90 Repository URL: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib
