Topic: Sound issues after upgrading Debian Linux kernel to 6.12.115

Hello,

I have sound issues after upgrading my Debian box to kernel 6.12.115: all my piano instruments sounds like horns and very noisy. Same issue with and without RT kernel. Same issue with and without cpupower (Performance/Governor).

No issue if I boot with previous kernel 6.12.113

Anyone experiencing same issue?

Would be great to have some feedback from Linux users.

Actually, that's very unusual. I'd also had problems with the DAC after upgrading to a new kernel.
My solution was to keep using the old one and wait for the next upgrade. Now I only use the Liquorix kernel,
and it's working pretty well for me. (I checked my settings with Millisecond)

Hi, cannot replicate.
On a laptop, that I usually don't use for audio, I installed temporarily Pianoteq Free Trial 9.3.0. Running Debian kernel linux-image-6.12.113+deb13-amd64. Onboard audiointerface ALC269VB driven directly per ALSA, 48000  Hz, 128 samples. Default preset is NY Steinway D Classical and I simply started the Preset demo song.

Sounds perfectly.

Then I updated and rebooted to the recent kernel linux-image-6.12.115+deb13.1-amd64 and repeated the same demo.

Same result. No problems.

I hope you can isolate it.

I've found that if the frequency in Pipewire isn't the same as the setting in Pteq, the sound is awful.
