Hello,
I faced this very same issue today.
googling this bug report was extremely useful: I deleted timidity, and now
sound is back. Obviously this is no solution, as I (or someone else) will
need timidity eventually.
I understand this is not a kernel related issue, but it is still a serious
issue anyway: timidity may grab the sound card at random moments, making
sound unusable.
I cannot tell who is actual package (timidity? systemd?) responsible for this
nor how this can be corrected (maybe insert an extra delay before the
timidity daemon is started?), but it sure requires a fix.
So shouldn't this bug be reassigned rather than closed?
Thanks!
Best,
Nick
