[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hda: Modify stream stripe mask only when needed

[Martin Regner]

Hi there,

since i upgraded my gentoo system to kernel 5.4.3 the sound over hdmi is
distorted, loud and seems to come only from one speaker. I checked the 
changes
between 5.4.2 and 5.4.3 and as a shot in the dark, i reverted the commit
e38e486d66e2a3b902768fd71c32dbf10f77e1cb, and the problem was gone.

I'll try to find out if the issue is on my system, but there is may 
something
wrong with the condition which enables the stripe mask.

It would be really great if you could take a look into this issue again.

Kind regards
Martin
