Public bug reported:
After playing sound for a while (minutes, not seconds), the right
channel will become attenuated.
Restoring balance can be done by unplugging the headphones (from the
built-in sound card) or disconnecting the external DAC and reconnecting
it.
Balance can be restored by altering balance in pavucontrol, but if you
balance by increasing the right side volume, it introduces a lot of
distortion.
Same behavior observed using both the internal sound device as well as
the Sound Blaster USB sound device, so it's in the mixing software
somewhere.
