ROG Ally: HDMI audio cuts out frequently when docked (Bounty $60 USD)
This seems to have been posted a few other places around the net, but I couldn't find a post here about it, so I'm making one in the hopes someone can help me troubleshoot this.
By "dropouts" or "cuts out" I mean that all audio goes silent for a couple seconds, and then comes back.
ROG Ally on a USB-C dock (seems to happen on multiple docks). I've also heard the Ally X has the same issue.
The device basically has to be restarted for HDMI audio to even be usable. Attempting to dock it multiple times or take it out of sleep without restarting just results in delayed audio and constant dropouts.
But even when the device has been restarted, the HDMI audio still cuts out occasionally (I would say every few minutes there is an occurrence).
I am not used to troubleshooting things on bazzite, but I have linux experience and I am available to collect whatever information folks might be curious about.
Appreciate your time and any help you might be able to provide!
