Comment 0 for bug 1884940

Laptop : Dell XPS 2020 9300
Pre-loaded with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Latest BIOS, latest available kernel, all updates applied

linux kernel 5.0.0-1059-oem-osp1

After I log to Gnome, the kern.log fills itself with lines reporting this :

Jun 24 14:46:22 asgard kernel: [ 158.134245] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: No response from codec, resetting bus: last cmd=0x2063b000

One per second. This lasts 10 to 15 seconds.

Then, I see some lines but I do not know if they are related to this :

Then it scrolls very quickly and I get a huge amount of "hsw_power_well_enable"
No idea if this is related to the messages with the sound card.
Those "hsw_power_well_enable" things are also/maybe/no idea related to another reported bug :

After a dozen or so of those [ cut here ] blocks, the sound card seems to be willing to work.

The sound icon then appears and I get sound and can control it.

This on a er... "certified" Ubuntu machine pre-loaded :)
Doesn't seem like Dell cares about checking logs when certifying.

Well, if there's a way to have this fixed or if you need more information ?
