Hi Takashi

We verified on Ubuntu 19.10 with kernel 5.4.0.0-050400-generic (please refer to
attachment), the result is positive which symptom doesn't happen anymore once I
played music or video sound output through Dell S2718D Type-C monitor. It seems
had some fix in latest kernel.

Thanks.

Could you check whether it still happens with the latest upstream kernel, at lea
st 5.4.y, if it wasn't tested yet?

I don't want to put a long delay just because of random reason unless it's reall
y mandatory.  I'm wondering whether the recent write-sync change improves the si
tuation, so let's check the recent code.

thanks,

Takashi
