Comment 25 for bug 996906

I'm experiencing the same behavior as berend in post #22. My Bluetooth headphones work great, but the HDA Intel device in my Lenovo ThinkPad T420 gives me fits. My solution for right now is to use an external USB audio device or Bluetooth headphones to work around the problem.

It's interesting that so many people could potentially be affected by an issue affecting the HDA Intel hardware, yet this thread is quite small. There's got to be a specific combination of hardware and software that causes this issue. At this point I guess we know that snd-hda-intel and pulseaudio are required to reproduce the issue. What other items are common to the issue?

Here's my audio hardware for reference:
