Lots of points there:

* The Nvidia GT 1030 is only around $100 if you shop around, but certainly don't spend any money unless you can afford it and really need to. I only suggested it because that's the cheapest way to get to Nvidia's latest 510 driver series, which may solve some bugs.

* You don't need to compile any kernels. Just download the pre-compiled packages from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.17.5/amd64/

* sox, pulseaudio, or any other high level sound issues are not directly relevant. What is relevant is to try with *nothing* playing sound so as to eliminate the possibility of the kernel sound modules being busy.

* gsd-color[5002]: no xrandr-DVI-I-0 device found: Failed to find output xrandr-DVI-I-0 does not appear to be relevant.

* Fprint / Fingerprint log messages are normal and not relevant.

* Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding is bug 1857392, also not relevant here.

I think the next steps are:

 (a) test without any sound playing, particularly no web browser open; and

 (b) try a newer kernel like https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.17.5/amd64/
