I 'member having to use a script to do software mixing of multiple audio streams in alsa, so I could listen to a music CD while playing WOW. Otherwise whichever thing started first would grab the audio device and the other thing couldn’t use it. This would’ve been back in like 2006-7.
Been around since OSS and ALSA was the new kid on the block. Yet to experience these supposed sound issues.
Then you didn’t use your computer for much involving audio.
All i can say is, you have been a very lucky individual.

Same, I have it running on several different laptops/desktops, it’s probably a certain piece of hardware.
I’m sure it’s happening to people, just not everyone.
