low latency kernel broke chrome and audio

[Douglas Seay]

For some reason my 22.04 LTS was switched to a low latency kernel. I don't game, but I build a lot, so I in general I prefer throughput. So the switch didn't really look interesting to me.

I lost audio connection to my headphones. Work without music is painful. I had to switch to windows, and that is just wrong.

Additionally this broke chrome. The --no-sandbox option was a work around, but having to do that for browsing, slack, and whatever else is not practical. And isn't a good look.

Reverting to an older kernel, 5.15.0-76-generic, seems to do the trick. Well, at least with chrome. I've not tried moving my headphones back yet.

I've not dug into this, so I have no idea if it is the kernel itself, a driver, or whatever else came over at the same time. But please test with Google Chrome.

BTW: 5.19.0-46-generic seems to work OK for chrome too. Still haven't tested audio.
