Bug Description
Issue: whichever sound-related action (sound +/- media keys, spotify song, youtube vid in browser,...) I do, the sound works OK for about 2-3 seconds, and then stops and becomes silent.
The interesting thing is that when I stop playing the audio (ie close the browser tab with a song), after a while when I try aain the sound works again. Yet still for just the few secs.
Environment:
up-to-date Ubuntu 18.04, tried -hwe, hwe-edge kernels.
This is a regression, the sound used to work OK on this machine, and nothing significant related to sound has changed since.
Thank you for looking into this bug!

I am not sure if this is a kernel/FW issue, as the soundcard is recognized and the sound playes at first.
On the other hand there were not changes/updates to alsa,pulseaudio and the sound used to work ok before.
These problems started to appear cca a month ago(?) but usually "some trick" made it work again (I didn't identify exactly what), like ++volume key after the sound stoped working, this does not help anymore.
