[HP 15 Notebook] Audio stuttering in Ubuntu

[Abdulrhman]

The audio is stuttering at random times, a short (about a second or less) repeated sound occurs, in the browser, in VLC or even the system sounds, and it's actually annoying. I tried Fedora 32 but the same issue there, and I tried OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 but it never happened.
My search led me to an Arch article explaining the situation:
"The newer implementation of the PulseAudio sound server uses timer-based audio scheduling instead of the traditional, interrupt-driven approach.
Timer-based scheduling may expose issues in some ALSA drivers. On the other hand, other drivers might be glitchy without it on, so check to see what works on your system."
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Glitches,_skips_or_crackling
I tried the proposed solutions but it Don't work.
Further search led me to the conclusion that it's an old bug:
It happened in 16.04, see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/915904/audio-glitches-every-2-10-minutes-ubuntu-16-04
and 18.04, see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1044552/audio-stuttering-in-ubuntu-18-04
It turned out that there is a bug in kernel which causes audio stutter if a wifi enabled yet not connected to any wifi network.
I have an internal wifi card that is enabled but I don't use it, and a USB wifi adapter which I use. So I disabled my internal unused wifi card by blacklisting it and then reboot, and so far everything works fine (about 2 hours of testing). I re-enabled it and the stutter happened again. So I reported this bug while both cards are enabled.
I don't mind blacklisting the unused card, but I think it's better to report such bug.
