Hi, I am using debian stable with self compiled kernel. With 4.16.4 I had a terrible experience with audio devices. I went back to 4.15.8 and just recently installed 4.17.13. With 4.17.13 everything is fine. I usually download the source and do cp <old_config> .config make oldconfig make deb-pkg to produce the binaries. You can check the kernel change log. IMO there must have been some work on audio stack, but I did not look into the detail. regards
