ROG Ally: HDMI audio cuts out frequently when docked (Bounty $60 USD)
update to this dock, I still haven't had any dropouts on extended sessions, but I have noticed that sleep/wake does still have the slowly increasing latency. It just took a while for me to notice it was happening

I combined it with a cheap 4x usb hub to make it into my new living room setup
It even works with my nintendo switch, amazingly enough, even though it doesn't advertise being able to do that

I think it has something to do with whether or not the usb-c device/dock has its own audio chip, or it asks the host to pass through its audio.
I have one specific dock I’m still testing with, but so far I haven’t had it drop audio a single time, and sleep/wake doesn’t seem to mess with the audio latency at all

I don’t believe so, at least not that specific. You can only set 60, 120, etc. it doesn’t have the specific decimal numbers

The issue is that in bazzite gamescope I don’t think you can control refresh rate, at least not that I’ve seen

I couldn’t even get the delay on my 120hz tv, but on my 60hz tv it’s basically “dock it, put it to sleep, wake it up, boom the audio is delayed by over a second”

Yet when I returned to the living room (a lesser LG but still a 4k tv), I was able to make the delayed audio happen nearly instantly. I’m trying to see if I can induce the dropouts now.
Edit: yeah, audio dropouts as well

So…this is interesting. It seems no matter what I do on my LG C2 oled, I can NOT make this happen. It’s my bedroom tv so until now I’ve never really tried to hook up my ally to it, but I wanted to test things out and my s/o was watching tv in the living room.
I couldn’t even get the audio to become delayed.

mine is not technically the jsaux dock but it looks so similar that I’m 90% sure it’s just a clone with identical hardware but from another Chinese brand. And I have a j5 create mini dock as well, just hdmi, power, and one usb port

Believe I’m on the jsaux as well. Ally z1e too.
Normally the issue does take quite some time to start popping up (~1hr ish maybe) but I’m gonna try popping in and out of sleep to induce it sooner

So far it’s been all in game mode, I have not tried desktop mode. I will take a look when I get home from work and see
Unless @Chas_Hodges already knows, they have the same issue on an ally x and may have tried desktop mode already
