Re: Kernel 5.12.10 and 5.12.9 freezing after boot-up with while sound output is looping

[adel.ks@zegrapher.com]

Hello,

I decided to test first the ALSA changes, which happen to be the commits 
right after v5.12.8, and the very first commit of the series, `73d862c55 
ALSA: hda/realtek: the bass speaker can't output sound on Yoga 9i` made 
the freeze happen (although it took some time when compared to f3c23683d 
and 59ef5291f).

I am ready and willing to help further on the matter.

Kind regards,

Adel K.S.
