hii guys, for a few days now ive had an issue with my laptop running eos on sound. when i boot my pc up it will run perfectly fine until maybe a minute or two after boot, in which case my speakers stop working and media from most places (eg. youtube, steam, discord video plays but the control bar doesnt move) will freeze up after playing for maybe two frames.
a temporary solution is to go into the kde settings and disable and reenable my sound card (using the intel one, i have an nvidia gpu too so nvidia hda is listed but does nothing) but even that disables itself again after a short while.
my device is the hp envy 15t-ep000, which i learned shortly after buying is pretty infamous for linux compatability specifically in the bios and audio front (bang and olufsen speakers). despite this its been working pretty much perfectly for me since i bought it almost a year ago.
ill attach a copy of the result from inxi -FAZ --no-host | eos-sendlog below but before i do heres the basics:
