Support Request Audio channels dropping
This is an issue I used to have when plugging in my USB DACs, but now it happens as I'm using my computer.
I'm up to date on both OS and BIOS, tried multiple slots, multiple DACs, but I at random have this issue where my right channel or even both drop to almost nothing. Yesterday, my microphone dropped like this! The issue fixes itself when I swap away and back on output. Some people recommend using AI for troubleshooting, but Gemini has not been helpful in the slightest.
I put out this post to see if anyone else is dealing with this. I otherwise love Linux Mint to bits when it isn't acting up like this. Whatever information is needed, I'll reply with.
