When the bug occurs, audio from all applications is garbled. I've tested firefox, zoom, and vlc, and all have garbled audio.

I have had this issue since at least May 2020. At the time I was using Ubuntu 18.04, and have since upgraded to 20.04

I've reinstalled pulseaudio which has not fixed the issue.

I think it might be related to speech applications interacting strangely with firefox. Opening zoom links works somewhat consistently, and the times when firefox spontaneously broke may have been due to discord running in the background.
