[UX430UAR, Realtek ALC294, Speaker, Internal] fails after a while

[Vikram John]

The sound fades off after initially playing for about 2s. In Firefox, sometimes if I pause a Youtube video, switch between applications, and then return to Firefox, the same things repeats. The sound plays for 2s and then stops. In Rhythmbox, after it stops, the sound doesn't play again. The initial response after the first time I ran "ubuntu-bug audio" was:
Not loading module "atk-bridge": The functionality is provided by GTK natively. Please try to not load it.

After this message, I executed:
sudo apt purge libatk-adaptor
sudo reboot

But the problem recurs and now, I don't get the message about the atk-bridge module.
